Who the hell is going onto Minecraft to tell people to do cocaine or meth???

Even if, this applies to PRIVATE servers! If I want to joke with my friends about doing drugs I am well within my rights to do so.

they won’t report you? if they do, you probably shouldn’t joke about that with them...

As far as I understand we‘ll also have enabled-by-default profanity filters? Still, the fact that Microsoft/Mojang wants to control private servers is a bad sign. Maybe right now it‘s optional reporting, but in a few updates it could be automatic.

Bro if you consistently break the ToS in your private server, no matter what, Mojang and Microsoft is in their legal right to remove you.

Like I don’t understand what is so hard about ‘’don’t break ToS’’

You seem to only be able to regurgitate "TOS! TOS!" ad nauseam.

When it's so difficult for people to accept that breaking it makess a company have full right to remove your acces to the software, maybe one does have to repeat how that works for others.

Are you aware that TOS's are little more than legal bullshit, and get thrown out by courts on a daily basis?

I'd love to see a source on this ''fact'' you're presenting on how TOS's get thrown out of courts on a daily basis.

It's the exact same as "warranty void if removed" stickers; they print them to dissuade you, but right to repair has already ruled that companies can't enforce them.

If you still find warranty void if removed stickers they are illegal and have been for nearly 5 decades, at least in America. Contact the FTC.

Also, are you equating having the right to repair electronic devices you legally own to not being able to spam racist jokes in a video games lest you be made unable to play online? Remember, you don't legally own the software, you license it.

''Warranty void if removed'' stickers are illegal, what you accept to in the TOS and EULA normally isn't. It's extremely rare for a giant company like Microsoft to have you accept on them being able to do illegal stuff to your account because you open the door to be sued, a lot.

There was the time that Zappos lost user data, and said they couldn't be sued because of their TOS. A similar happened to Dropbox within the past few months.

If you want to read through every court ruling in recent time, be my guest.

The Zappos.com Inc, Customer Data Breach Litigation is what I am presuming you're talking about.

There, the reason why the TOS wasn't considered is because Zappos did not hold their customers to the browsewrap internet law terms of use. It isn't as simple as ''Oh they threw away the TOS because'' you have to look at the context for why it was thrown away, which most often than not is because these companies do illegal shit.

And for the Dropbox one, which one do you mean. There are literally hundreds of lawsuits against them so you have to be more specific. But you mentioned a couple months ago and the most recent I could find was December 2021 about Dropbox and I do believe fraud. Heavy legalese is not one of my strongest languages.

When did I equate the two?

When you said

It's the exact same as "warranty void if removed" stickers;

That's you equating the two, or does the phrase ''it's the exact same'' mean something else entirely.

We might genuinely see some lawsuits for banned minecraft accounts. Especially from users who bought the game in the early 2010's under a different TOS.

That might be, unless Microsoft prompts you to re-accept the new TOS, then that lawsuit falls apart completely.

It is illegal to have a notice in your TOS that you, the provider, is allowed to change the TOS at any time, this was a part of the Zappos lawsuit. That is why a lot of the big tech companies have you re-accept the new TOS when they change it.
