Leave it to Disney to claim ownership of something in the public domain.

I'm pretty "May the Fourth be with you" was a phrase that existed before Disney bought Star Wars and it was not something that Lucas Films had any direct claim to. Besides that, the idea that you can claim ownership of someone else's tweet just because they used a hashtag, is pretty dubious.

Now to be fair, what they seem to really be saying here is that they don't want you to sue if they show your tweet along with your username on their website. Fair enough, but it's weird that they're declaring that on some tweet somewhere as if it's a terms of service agreement that you've somehow signed. What if you just claim you never saw that post? Can you even stop someone else from posting your tweet on their website in the first place? This raises so many weird questions.
