of course there is difference, but the rules are in place because if it turns out that someone on $SERVICE is are sharing login information with a network of people doing $BAD_THING you want to be able to say "he did that against our policy" not "well, we thought it was private".
Agreed ofcourse. However MS seems to enforce them lacking this; stuff is in private folders and no bad things are done. Of course you want to enforce rules; we run a big photo site ourselves and we know how that works, but we wouldn't ban people for pics in private albums. Nor do we (ever) check them.
But yes, if there is something wrong you want to have the RIGHT to remove + ban for any reason you see fit. MS is a company, they have no obligation to host your crap. Well, if you don't pay. If you do I think it's even muddier water IMHO.
