We already have the answer. We do not really need new laws, or regulation
We need enforcement of contract law (and maybe a prohibition on binding arbitration which would be a new law)
However today these "Terms of service" are not really treated like a normal contract, in a few ways
One most of them are massively one sided, which should make them unenforceable and disallowed. Also standard contracts most of the time require notification of specific violations with documentation of the violation that triggers termination of the contract, not these vague assertions that with no documentation of the violation. Also for the most part contracts do not allow these open ended catch all type of provisions most Terms of service have, there are exceptions of course but it seems to have enacted a completely different level of provisions for these "terms of service" agreements that would not be permitted in other contexts of contract law
