For other reviewers: I inspected the diff manually (since the highlighting here is not very informative) and the only changes I see before this point are formatting of HTML source.

Do we currently scan posts? I'm wondering if we should be saying we do or we can/might. Since this is in TOS, it could be phrased as "you acknowledge that we can do this", unless the OSA requires that we do it this way? (No strong opinion; just trying to make sure what we say is pedantically correct.)

Technically we do; there's no real definition of "scanning", but it'll make sense to users. The system takes post content into account in some scheduled jobs and in spam blocking, which is close enough for me.

Oh, I forgot about the role of posts in the spam tools. Works for me.
