I have a family member with an artificial heart and that is a worry of mine, that one day such implants will need you to agree to ToS in order to ensure continued operation.

They likely already signed the ToS while going through the surgery paperwork.

Yeah, until the ToS changes and the manufacturer bricks the heart because they missed a payment. Or said something online they don't agree with, or joined a group they don't like or any one of 100 other things.
