It helps once, but does it push notifications when the TOS changes from the last time you read it?

The TOS could switch from protecting your data to sharing it for money at any point in time and that would apply to any existing data. Unless you know you can get them to delete it, the fact that the TOS used to say something does not matter once they change it.


No reason to care when the TOS can be changed at any time, and who wants to read it once much less every times they want to use a thing?


It is important to differentiate between able to know and contact tracking to enable controlling behavior. Knowing to help with communication and transportation arrangements is great, but nitpicking an extra stop on the way home to Target? Sheesh.



Even worse, the court said what they did was wrong but they get to use the result anyway.


The obvious potential harm in general outweighs the positive outcome in a specific case. Justifying broad surveillance because it works occasionally is the road to a police state.
