CrowdStrike ToS, section 8.6 Disclaimer
It's about safety, but truly ironic how it mentions aircraft-related twice, and communication systems (very broad).
It certainly doesn't impose confidence in the overall stability. But it's also general ToS-speak, and may only be noteworthy now, after the fact.
Weren't the issues at airports because of the ticketing and scheduling systems going down, not anything with aircraft?
Yes, I think so.
That's just covering up, like a disclaimer that your software is intended to only be used on 29ᵗʰ of February. You don't expect anyone to follow that rule, but you expect the court to rule that the user is at fault.
Luckily, it doesn't always work that way, but we will see how it turns out this time
Lawful Masses with Leonard French covered this yesterday. He is a copyright attorney. He starts the video with the opinion that the ToS wouldn't protect CrowdStrike.
I'm pretty sure if a client pays for use in any of that they'll shut up and take the money. Pretty ethical.
