This has been illegal in the EU since 2011 (with extra clauses in 2019).

A lot of the Switch 2's UA is also illegal in Brazil. For example, check section 7 (Dispute Resolution) - IIRC law protection is considered an inalienable right in Brazil, you can't simply sign it off.

However Nintendo has been shielding itself by saying "ackshyually, we aren't conducting business in Brazil". That's why São Paulo's Procon is calling it out.
