We don't need new laws--we just need existing courts to start finding these terms of service to be unconscionable and refuse to enforce them. They certainly fit the description:

• Unequal Bargaining Power: A large gap in power or knowledge between a large corporation and an individual consumer or employee.

• Lack of Meaningful Choice: "Take-it-or-leave-it" adhesion contracts where the weaker party cannot negotiate any terms.

None of these so-called "agreements" should bind people. There is no actual agreement or "meeting of the minds." It's just one party writing one-sided rules that only they get to enforce.
