Which is why you check the ToCs to ensure that main classes of poor behaviour that you want to avoid are included in there.
It doesn't scale, at all. Not when I am interacting with upwards of a hundred microservices.
And after a malicious ToC change, the company can immediately act on the policy, meaning if you're even a few minutes late to the party, or if it takes more than a few minutes to completely scrub your data from the website (it does) then your data is now subject to the new ToC.
So the ToC offers no legal protection from data abuse. It's just a nice thought.
