    First Roku did a quick force TOS change before a beach disclosure, now Blizzard is mysteriously forcing a change to their TOS. I have no idea what’s coming next. Seems like it’s going to become part of the breach playbook to minimize financial loss. Maybe there will be a law against it in… oh…15 years?

      So i’m not a lawyer but isn’t there a law for unconsciability, When a contract is so one-sided, it’s obvious that me the signer has absolutely no rights.The entire contract is voided.

        EULAs and TOSes are as legally binding as a secondhand piece of toiletpaper with a contract written in shit. Almost every single one will be thrown out in court. The problem is getting to that point in the first place, and incurring the (time, effort & money) costs while enduring. Most common people can’t afford that, which the companies know, so they keep making unenforceable EULAs.

          That is true in US. In EU litigations cost are way lower and a single person could sue, win and not be financially broken.

          Problem is only that in any case what you pay for a lawyer is more than you win, so it make no sense to sue in any case.

            Almost like the Legal system is intentionally designed such that the wealthy are the only ones with any actual access.

          The signer gets the service because they paid for it. Mostly these are changed after people already bought the stuff.

      Let me laugh if Blizzard’s TOS change is because of a security breach they haven’t disclosed yet.

      Roku wasn’t breached. They reported that a bunch of people who had reused passwords from other breached sites were compromised.

        So you have all users sign a new TOS to force a password change? I’m not seeing the connection.

          The TOS had nothing to do with having announced that some peoples’ accounts had been compromised due to password reuse from other hacked sites. People just started conspiracy theoryin’
