I'll probably stay with them since it's for personal use and they're the best value I've seen, but it's definitely sketchy.

It wouldn't have been as bad if they had just warned me that Stockfish isn't allowed and then taken action if I didn't respond. Instead of first deactivating my account and then responding after I emailed them.

Yeah I mean it's obviously an overreaction right? And a concerningly intrusive one at that- surely they could've have checked telemetry and verified at least authentic-seemimg behavior on your part. But beyond the knee jerk reaction which can be reasonable chalked up to poor governance at a startup, so, fine, it's like how'd they end up with stockfish on an undocumented dependencies blacklist? I've thought too much about this already lol. Glad you got your access restored though
