Or, maybe, this young generation grew up with the internet being a tool with actual power. Where before, it was pure novelty, with no real-world consequences of destructive behaviour.
This young generation, based on a study of history, prefers to be governed by agreed-upon rules, rather than "might is right".
Note that I, and probably the vast majority of every generation, agree with this court's decision that ToS are not enforceable.
But the reason is not the challenge to enforce such ToS through technical means. It is the fundamental unfairness of a process that would allow such one-sided contracts to be drawn.
As a counter-example: your philosophy of "I can do whatever I can do" would allow limitless collection, use, and sale of personal information. But I would hope that most people actually do see value in Facebook not being allowed to sell your private images and messages to the highest bidder if they ever choose to.
