I only found this vague statement: > Price says that Apple terminated his account when the company suspected him of breaching its terms and conditions, but due to the clause in question Apple did not have to confirm a breach occurred or give Price notice or explanation before shutting down his Apple ID.

We need to revise all consumer protection laws. Way more than we did a few years ago. I would start with, Mandatory Arbitration. Let consumers take these companies, including credit card companies, to court. What is the limit for small claims---$25,000? Companies might treat customers different? I wouldn't mind doing away with Terms if Service all together. If a company can't act within our laws without a 10 page TOS, so be it. Or, maybe strict protections for small companies, and nill for large companies. Companies that can afford to investigate claims against them? All my belly aching here won't do a thing though. These companies have bought our representatives. I'm waiting for a day someone has a successful website, like Hacker News, where people could offer suggestions to their representatives directly. I don't think I'll ever see that day because those in charge know these matters are above the intellect of most Americans, and most Americans would rather escape the inequities of real life, especially on line? I just looked up that 2008 Consumer Protection Act. This popped up? https://www.npr.org/2020/03/03/811718978/supreme-court-casts-doubt-on-independence-of-consumer-protection-agency https://www.npr.org/2020/03/03/811718978/supreme-court-casts...
