Legal texts from websites, how to trust it?

Question

While using the web, we accept many privacy policies and terms of services, but it feels weird.Unlike a paper contract, where I have a copy of it, on a website, I've never saved a page from one of those websites, and they could modify it without warning me.Is there a website that monitors this? Or there's some industry standard that every website follows it and I'm being overconcerned?

I feel certain there have been multiple "ToS Watcher" services, that kept tabs and diffs of the bigger sites ToS pages, at least.I cannot find any evidence such ever existed in a quick search right now however.

You should be concerned. There isn't a good monitoring website for this.
