 > I am trying to understand this better. Anyone can create a Screencast
 account it's not restrictive on creation or even image uploads. We don't
 allow a crawler to traverse this site but rather allow individuals to
 share images that they want to be shared in specific locations. There are
 no restrictions on the link itself other than you must have the specific
 target to view the content. This allows all of the user base of Screencast
 to share specific images and videos that they would like to be consumed on
 WP which would benefit creators abilities to share information with their
 visitors.

 Yes, I can agree with you.

 In fact, it makes sense, as, for example Videopress is whitelisted and
 serving basically a similar service.
 There are some policies around that are complex.

 My advice is that you come next `devchat` (18th June, 3PM GMT @ Slack
 channel #core) and bring this topic (in general) and see the popular
 opinion about this topic.

 I'm not going to dig further on this because I feel we are entering the
 swampy waters.
