> That's against TOS

Nobody even reads those things anyways. What they "allow" doesn't matter either. As users we should be able to do whatever we want. If we want to log messages, that's our prerogative.

But is TOS enforceable. That is the question. We have yet to properly test it in US court. I would like to finally get a binding court opinion whether a company can just put 'and we own your soul and youngest pet in perpetuity' and make cops come to your home to enforce that. I would like some clarity. Not this weird purgatory that benefits companies only.

Companies have successfully forced people to go through arbitration through terms of service, with courts agreeing. ToSes, as a whole, are enforceable, though several lines in them might not be, just like contract law.

Ahh, but by just moving it to arbitration it stops being contract law, does it not?
