What changed

One real change today. Proton's Terms of Service now say free accounts can be suspended or deleted after 24 months of inactivity, not 12: https://proton.me/legal/terms. Logging in on web, desktop or mobile once every two years is enough to stay active; paid accounts are still always treated as active. Warnings before deletion remain only "a mere courtesy" (the Oct 20 change). One leftover sentence still talks about staying active "in a period of 12 months" for insurmountable-circumstances support requests.

Noise filtered out: Cloudflare's privacy "diff" was a null byte in one curly quote; Shopify and Audible flipped through known pricing-page A/B variants; Venmo's legal-menu list that appeared Nov 5 disappeared again (capture flip-flop); Tubi's device ID rotated. PlayStation terms still SSLError; Roblox terms still HTTP 403.
