Especially if it's something free or subscription based. It's just a "our rules have changed, if you don't like it stop using it/paying for it"
It's get very dodgy when it's a physical thing you've bought like that Roku agreement a few weeks back, but I doubt they'll let that stop them.
They can just put in the initial contract a clause that basically they can change the contract as they see fit, when they see fit, and if you don’t like it, too bad.
That pretty much wipes out a lot of recourse for most people when it comes to changes in costs and services.
