On August 15th jsdelivr updated the terms of use on its official website. Although it is not clear which content has been updated, I noticed that many people have overlooked these areas. Messing can easily be blocked by jsdelivr. The following are the points that need attention.
4. Prohibited Use
The following behavior is prohibited:
- Hosting or accessing content that:
- …
- Abusing the service and its resources, or using jsDelivr as a general-purpose file or media hosting service. This includes, for example:
- running an image hosting website and using jsDelivr as a storage for all uploaded images,
- hosting videos, file backups, or other files in large quantities.
We recognize that there are legitimate projects that consist of a large number of files, and these are not considered abuse. For example: icons packs, apps, or games with a large number of assets.
- Trying to bypass our limits or restrictions in any way. We will be happy to remove limits or provide custom solutions for legitimate projects.
5. Additional Restrictions in China
jsDelivr holds an ICP license issued by the Chinese government, which allows us to operate infrastructure directly in Mainland China. To keep this license and allow our Chinese users to benefit from the performance improvements it provides, any content served via our Chinese network must conform to Chinese policies. Content potentially violating Chinese policies may be blocked in China without warning.
Article 4 states that the prohibited use behaviors include storing videos, file backups or other large amounts of files. So don't try to store too large media files in jsdelivr! The connection will be blocked at any time!
There is also a prohibited behavior in the above article that is to open a picture bed and use jsdelivr to store uploaded pictures. So don't use it as a picture bed!
In addition, Article 5 also emphasizes that the use of jsdelivr in the country must be disciplined and law-abiding. Violating content will be blocked without warning!
So using jsdelivr must not fool around now, fooling around is easy to be checked by jsdelivr!
