>barely legal (revoking people's access to what they bought ...)
Kind of like when Microsoft bought Mojang and locked one of the world's most popular online experiences behind talking to M$ servers? There is no way to play the game you paid for - even offline - if you are not interested in creating a Microsoft account. They don't seem too concerned with the whole "terrible idea which is barely legal" thing when there's an opportunity to force people into giving them data.
my mojang account was not banned for alleged ToS violations which i can buy myself free from by providing them with a phone number they promise to only use for "validation"
(this is not related to bans for chat, this is about MS just arbitrarily banning accounts)
