DigitalOcean is promising, but they should probably hire a lawyer to fix up their Terms of Service. I notice they've attempted to appease adult content websites by removing the restriction against nudity and adding a statement that adult sites are expressly allowed if legal. But, they've left in a prohibition on profanity? That seems a bit backwards.

Inappropriate content is also disallowed, what does that mean? It's not a legal term of art that I'm familiar with. Why does a sentence begin with "Transmit"? And please, consider using bulleted lists.

Profanity clause has been removed.
