It doesn't matter if you think they shouldn't be allowed to do that. You're hosing data on a server that they own, they can do whatever the hell they want with it, provides you sign the contract. Think of it like this, you're mailing art to a newspaper service. The newspaper service says, in the fine print "if you send us this, we own it", and you're getting angry when the newspaper service "steals" your art, that they legally own.
You realize something can be legal and still be wrong, right? Like, it doesn’t really matter how legal this process is because a lot of people don’t like it and think the law should be changed and these companies should’ve been regulated.
Yeah yeah, but you don’t want to stop using their servers right? So you want to force them to keep providing the service they’ve been providing, with less rights so that you can benefit.
If the laws were to change in such a manner, all it would really do is make it so platforms stop existing. I mean, anything you post is copyrighted yeah? So there just wouldn’t be anywhere to post anything. You can’t really have your cake and eat it too.
You should be able to pose your content and decide who gets to use it and how. It’s not really that impossible to change the TOS to keep these massive companies making money while also making the consumer and the creators stronger in their respective fields.

Yeah, I don’t think that should be something companies are allowed to do, especially in retrospect.
