Yes, it is.

For example,

As someone who used to read TOS and EULAs:

Somewhere around 10 years ago I switched strategy:

I don't read them at all. If anyone wants to sue my defense would be that nobody in their right mind (sorry younger me) would read that nonsense.

I assume the rules are basically "don't abuse our content or service",

... and I assume that they will sooner or later sell, abuse, leak, or hand over my data to law enforcement in any country including middle Eastern and African ones.
