The screenshot you posted says that the provision against hosting copyrighted content without permission includes pornography, not that pornography itself is against the terms.
And it sounds like the move is a precaution being taken because of a disgruntled ex-admin, not by force.
Yes and in the exact same section right after pornography they also mention "content that offends common decency, gambling, material that could seriously endanger the morals of children or young people or violate the rights of third parties". Does this mean it's okay to post gambling content so long as the digital poker chips are original? What about content that offends common decency? Is that okay so long as it's original content that offends common decency?
It depends. The provision is against infringing on the rights of others or otherwise violating the law, which those things may or may not do. Porn and online gambling are both legal (albeit regulated) in Germany, where Hetzner is based. Hetzner sucks anyways though so they don’t have my sympathies.
