When the ToS are 15 pages long this is about as useful as hearing "You're being arrested for breaking the law" when you're in the back of a cop car. Doesn't really narrow it down and provides you no way of actually defending yourself.

I agree that being too specific can help bots but the current way of handling these things is obviously flawed.

You're off by at least 1 order of magnitude.

At least the pdf version of the ToS for users in Germany is exactly 15 pages long: https://www.gstatic.com/policies/terms/pdf/20200331/ba461e2f...

Can't check other countries since Google automatically adjusts the country version to your location but you can check yours here: https://policies.google.com/terms

//edit: but you're correct considering this doesn't contain any service-specific ToS.
