> Just because a company offers a service doesn't give you the right to (ab)use it any way you want.

Didn't the US Supreme Court say it did, actually? I know that GDPR and the UK's Copyright Act have something to say about the matter.

There is no law anywhere in the world that grants you permission to use any internet service for any purpose.

It's always subject to the conditions the service provider sets.

Otherwise again it would legalise hacking.

If a company offers a service to the general public, you are allowed to use that service for any purpose permitted by applicable law. Even if the EULA / ToS says you can't. It says so in the applicable law.
