Well, I would like to point out that the right move here would be to call out this clause in the terms of service. One could even try to take legal action in some countries that have civil right measures against such clauses.

But no, instead one runs around and starts a petition.

Yeah, go ahead and call out that clause. I bet that will do more than the petition.
