  • Those licenses are standard for any website where you can upload content and are just the basic functionality of a website written in legalese. Without it, everyone's feed would be blank because they're not allowed to copy what you uploaded, they wouldn't even have a copy themselves because you didn't give them permission to store it. If someone's screen resolution is different, they technically need separate permission to "adapt" the content by delivering it in an appropriate resolution. Arranging several posts into a feed or timeline is including your post in a derivative work, which also is a separate legal permission they need to request from you. They can sneak extra things in there, but the agreement itself is a legal formality for making a website that stores and displays things the users enter. If they don't have it, you can post something, then sue them for distributing your post to others.

  • It's a classic example in education to demonstrate the difference between bandwidth and latency. Extremely high bandwidth, but also extremely high latency. It's not for practical use, it's a thought experiment to explain something that's often counterintuitive to students that are just starting out learning about networking.
