If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

I assume this is about the hosted platform WordPress.com, not the software you and others can host and offer.

Yes, that is correct. This also excludes self-hosted sites using Jetpack, as well as sites hosted on WP VIP platform.

If you stay on WP.com, there is a new setting(per-site) under Settings > general for disallowing this.
