Zed narrows 18+ rule to AI service

This was less a product feature drop and more a legal UX failure that Zed had to quickly tighten with clearer scope language.

• –The core confusion came from users reading “18+ code editor,” while the operative text limits the rule to Zed’s account-based AI/collab SaaS features.
• –Zed paired the clarification with stronger privacy positioning: no training on customer data by default, plus explicit opt-in paths.
• –Community backlash shows that developer trust hinges as much on legal copy precision as technical architecture.
• –The update also bundled bigger policy shifts (arbitration terms, billing clarity, Delaware jurisdiction), which may matter as much as the age gate for teams evaluating adoption.
