Isn't this the definition of tyranny and why we oppose things such as the war on drugs?
In my experience, many people don't argue against the war on drugs due to being against any imposition on consensual transactions but because it harms the people intended to help. They'd be fine with it otherwise.
Personally, I have some sympathy for your view, but I'm of the opinion that contracts require meeting of the minds, and that it's plainly obvious that many, possibly most users have no real idea of what they're trading away, evidenced by the fact that the T&C conditions of these services are unreadable and not even expected to be read.
