Something I have noticed several times and I can’t understand from an EU perspective is this: in the US a company you have a contract with (ie a company you are paying for a service for a certain amount of time) can change their tos / contract with you without prior notice and without having to at least honor the previous agreement until your current billing period expires?

For example if I paid for 1 year, I would expect the contract available at the time of payment should apply for the entire year or offer a refund if you don’t want to accept the changes. And always with at least two weeks of notice

I have been searching for this but couldn't find any answer, let's say a company has a generic public platform where people can upload text, images, videos, audio, ... how are they supposed to be able to check for copyright infringment against every single upload?

I know that Youtube has its own content id system, but for anyone without YT's resouces, is ther any 3rd party service to which you can pass content and get back a yes/no answer to "anyone copyrighted this thing?", if yes, what are the costs? the effectiveness?
