Yep, that's the fault of Hetzner that prevents them from being used by many startups instead of AWS, Azure GCP etc. AWS is very tolerant of what is being done on its network, for example. Whereas a startup that uses Hetzner services will have to make sure that their use case is not prohibited by Hetzner. Moreover, they would have to be vigilant to keep following the changes to Hetzner ToS and practices to avoid getting disconnected out of the blue one morning. With restrictive German laws and increasing Eu regulations, that is a major liability for any startup.

It would be great if Hetzner had a full fledged US subsidiary that was subject to US laws - one that didnt have to get burdened by German law.
