Isn't it that you get notified anyway by a site about the ToS changes (either with a popup or email message)?

I guess what would be nice is a diff of new and old.

I did this exact thing, working with Dor to produce the exact diffs when MongoDB went with their SSPL 1.0.

Yeah, that's what I send in the email updates, here's an example:

Not always. NightOwl's ToS said "We reserve our right to alter the terms in this Agreement and/or the pricing information and method detailed in NightOwl app's website at any time. In case the Agreement is amended as described, we will post an updated version of it in our website, at which time it becomes active and binding."

That's probably illegal, but plenty of sites and apps will try it anyway.
