Ninth Circuit Court Of Appeals Says No To Changing ToS Without Notification

The United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has said “no” to changing a terms of service without notification, even if the user agreed to that. I wouldn’t expect this ruling to stand for too long for two reasons: #1, pretty much every ToS ever made has that clause in it, and #2, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is the most liberal court in the U.S., and they regularly ignore Supreme Court precedents and regularly have their rulings overturned by the Supreme Court.

I’ll give it a few weeks, possibly a month or two, until this ruling goes into the rubbish bin.

By the way, this is the same court that said “Under God” doesn’t belong in the Pledge of Allegiance.
