That is basically true. However, what that server does is not SaaSS. SaaSS means a server offers to do a compation for you that you could, in principle, do in your own computers without talking with anyone else. A communication server is not like that. See https://gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html.

That sounds bad, but it is vague. Could you tell me more about these restrictions?
