Wasn't the point that they were scraping public profiles, i.e. they never signed up and thereby never signed any ToS?

ToS aren't signed. They are terms of service, not license agreements.

ToS merely need to be disclosed, and the site cna decline service if you violate the terms. A license agreement may subject you to penalties for violating the agreement.

Thanks for the clarification.
