Did you really "agree" to the terms? I think we need to define "agree". You
cannot "agree" with something that you've not understood. So when you
clicked "Yes" on the T&Cs, you actually gave a blanket consent to
everything, including those that you don't agree with :-)

their passwords - so far. Everything after you've authenticated is not
private.
