I don’t think the ToS approach would be invalidated here via your Safe Harbor fork theory.
The ToS could state something like “you give us a worldwide perpetual right to use your content in any way we want including granting this right to whom we designate”
You still own your content but by having an account you agree to the ToS that lets them do what they want.
They just host it and are safe.

You agreed to the ToS given by the library.
Hence why you have to get a library card to check out a book.

artistic licence innit - based being the opposite of cringe.

No, it doesn't matter if the book is at a library or on my friend's bookshelf, copyright law is literally the right to copy the thing. So if I make an illegal copy, I'm breaking copyright law. The "ToS" I've "agreed" to is the law of the country I'm in.
