You say that like people read the entirety of a TOS most people ignore that shit then act shocked when they break the rules

Of the millions of users some have read the TOS, and there are reasonable expectations, even if someone hasn’t read it. Not reading the contract doesn’t make it invalid, and a government enforcing a corp’s TOS on behalf of its users is actually a step in a positive direction.

You can usually ignore it if you just follow a personal rule of "don't be a dickhead"

The real beneficiaries are content creators who depend on social media to earn an income. Most have read the ToS, and creators are often banned or demonetized for frivolous reasons that dont actually violate the ToS. Every once in a while a story about this happening makes it to r/technology.
