Websites aren't required to provide you content for free, and (for the most part) shouldn't be. But they also shouldn't be able to claim that there's an implicit acceptance of TOS by visiting the site. If they want to make it a cost of accessing the site, they should put the equivalent of a paywall in front of the site for data. If I make an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to a server, and it responds with a 200, it can't claim after the fact that receiving that request means I agreed to something.
