Pretty sure you wouldn’t see anyone using it commercially as IIRC it’s only public due to a leak.

It's not a leak, it's a shortcut.

You can download it from Facebook, but it's behind "apply for access" form. Magnet links floating around are just a workaround around that form.

That said, commercial use is forbidden by the license specified in the form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqNECQnMkycAp2jP4Z...

I wasn't looking for a commercial use but its an Interesting point. Would it be possible to prove that someone is using it commercially?

1) Spin it up on a cluster in Belarus

2) ???

3) Profit?

4) Lukashenka grabs your profits and kicks you out ;-)
Why would he do that? More likely scenario would be "gets his share as a an apartment in London".
That's the oldest authoritarian trick in the book, pretty much any successful business in russia got the same fate for example. They even tried it with nginx.
It could be watermarked
how?
That emoji attack is hilarious, who would have thought that twitter-speak is watermark resistant.
