They can write anything they want in a TOS, doesn't mean it's legally enforceable.

even then, it's essentially paywalling your rights. you need to go to court, wait for the matter to be adjudicated, hope it works out in your favor, run out any potential appeals, all while paying attorneys and not being able to do something you're legally entitled to do. If you can't do all that, then your rights are moot.

Bingo! It's written in a "cover my ass" but that ass can get kicked by the courts.

Exactly. Anyone can put anything they want into a terms of service/contract. Doesn't mean it'll hold up in court.

Good luck getting it thrown out, that’ll be an expensive legal battle even if you do win.
