Yeah, probably not. When you sign up and agreed to their ToS, they don't "own" your content, but you grant them a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use it without compensation.

But how many TOS have been shot down because they over reach? I don’t know. You’re probably right. It it’s still fun to imagine.
