Legally binding =/= enforceable with penalties or illegal to break (excepting revocation of service). Breaking TOS is not a crime [0]

They never weren’t. After all, they’re contracts that you agree to when you check the box. Some
clauses
may be unenforceable, but voiding a clause does not necessarily void the whole contract.
