So legally speaking, what happens if it was my 8 year old son, who clicks buttons with no regard for human life, that agreed to this BS TOS? How is that legally binding?

Yeah our special needs child didn’t have much to say about the new terms. He probably didn’t read the whole thing though

It isn’t, an 8 year old can’t be held to a contract like this. IANAL.

Yeah, this is really dumb. There’s no way they can prove the owner clicked on it and they can’t hold anyone else to the terms.
