In their TOS they probably give themselves the right to do whatever the hell they want with the stuff you post there. If you store your data on someone else's computer, it's not yours any more, no matter how personal it is.


TOS do not, in practice, constitute informed consent, especially if they are silently changed, without a human readable summary and an explicit opt-in


Agreed, but as long as you can't successfully sue them for doing it anyway, the point is moot.

Also, if you already “agreed” to TOS that lets them do whatever they want, they don't need to change it.
