I'm pretty sure he does. “The terms of service prohibits deep linking” is a pretty unambiguous phrase, and it is prohibited indeed:

> Additionally, you agree not to, and will not assist, encourage, or enable others to: [...] Deep-link to any portion of the Services any purpose without our express written permission

The fact that the back link is broken on that very page adds yet another level of irony here though.

The original Privacy and Terms links do open in a new tab so the back button is broken on the website but works when deep linked.
