IANAL but I don't think that any company can enforce a ToS that's against the law. OP stated that there should be some kind of law to regulate this and I agree. There are many laws (at least in the EU) that regulate some ridiculous things (e.g. shape of the fruit) so why not regulate this area if the end user will benefit from that?

Please stop using the shape of fruit anti-EU attack. The shape of fruit is regulated in the EU because it was demanded by the producers of said fruit and the manufacturers of the machinery they use.

You probably misunderstood me - this wasn't an anti-EU attack. The fruit law was just an example that a law can be made when it's necessary.

Because not everything in life needs to be tailor suited to your needs by using the coercive power of the state. You aren't entitled to Google's products and services anymore than I am entitled to you creating a free search engine for me and allowing me to use it.

I wish that the government tailor suits the laws for my needs... I'm not talking about the right to use something. I'm talking about right to receive the support when you're paying for a service / product (and I'm not counting FAQ as support).

The right to use something is the same as the right to tech support. You want the right to use tech support.

Furthermore, what Google product/service are you PAYING for that you aren't getting support for? What Google service/product are you using that has no competitor?

You're talking out your ass.

"You're talking out your ass." I'm not going to continue the discussion with you in this type of manner...

You were the one who started by advocating violence against people not providing you customer service.
