    CrowdStrike ToS, section 8.6 Disclaimer

    […] THE OFFERINGS AND CROWDSTRIKE TOOLS ARE NOT FAULT-TOLERANT AND ARE NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR USE IN ANY HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT REQUIRING FAIL-SAFE PERFORMANCE OR OPERATION. NEITHER THE OFFERINGS NOR CROWDSTRIKE TOOLS ARE FOR USE IN THE OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION, NUCLEAR FACILITIES, COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, WEAPONS SYSTEMS, DIRECT OR INDIRECT LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, OR ANY APPLICATION OR INSTALLATION WHERE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN DEATH, SEVERE PHYSICAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. […]

    It’s about safety, but truly ironic how it mentions aircraft-related twice, and communication systems (very broad).

    It certainly doesn’t impose confidence in the overall stability. But it’s also general ToS-speak, and may only be noteworthy now, after the fact.

      Weren’t the issues at airports because of the ticketing and scheduling systems going down, not anything with aircraft?

      That’s just covering up, like a disclaimer that your software is intended to only be used on 29ᵗʰ of February. You don’t expect anyone to follow that rule, but you expect the court to rule that the user is at fault.

      Luckily, it doesn’t always work that way, but we will see how it turns out this time
