Not sure, there is quite a few comments on the original hn article. I think the crux of it is that the "basically" and effectively summarize the point without trying to sneak something in which the "basically" does not cover. I think it would very much depend on you ToS if you are able to use this. I'd imagine the likes of Facebook have such complex ToS that they could not effectively summarize like this without missing out on a lot of important detail.
