I'd say it's more than suspect, what's the point of agreeing to a terms of service if they can change after you agree to them?

- huytersd 3y agoThey usually put that exact thing into the ToS. The right to change it at any time.
- smcl 3y agoAhh ok this sounds like a thing that’s OK in the USA but not EU :-/

- wongarsu 3y agoJust because they write that doesn't make it legally enforceable. You can't agree to terms you don't know. Which is why many services will haunt you to explicitly agree to the new ToS when you next log in. And even if you click agree there are legal questions about how much that can change about your past relationship, and what kind of changes you can legally make.
