       We all get periodic emails with subject lines like "We're updating our Terms of Service and Privacy Notice." Question:Has ANY update of this kind EVER been in favor of the customer?

       @dangillmor I don't have immediate sourcing for this but these had to be updated for GDPR and the California CCPA. Barring regulatory changes, though, you are likely correct.

       @dangillmor Only once. Under advice from lawyers Mastodon put in a binding arbitration clause. After strong pushback from the user community they updated the terms removing the arbitration provision.
