So, basically, my associates and I can't use Trello to make our plans for world domination. Back to the index cards, guys.
SERIOUSLY: Content-restrictive ToS, which is now the norm, is killing the Internet, possibly with even greater efficacy than DMCA, SOPA, PIPA, and their ilk, combined, because it proactively chills speech.

"The business goal for Trello is to ultimately get to 100 million users. That means that our highest priority is removing any obstacles to adoption. Anything that people might use as a reason not to use Trello has to be found and eliminated."
