7 yearsimad (184): Reference to my post above i believe i owe Matterport an Apology as i rushed to express my anger about them changing the TOS silently, based on a misinformed Facebook post on MOUG. But it turns out later that TOS was actually rolled back and never changed. However the reason i was angry (like most of us i think) was because we saw that Matterport's approach to the long waited echo system was going to cause a lot of trouble for all of us MSPs...

I think that this could have been accomplished without the TOS being amended and without scaring...
