You must agree to this to contiune to be playing online now in EU:
Link: AND USER AGREEMENT
Does that mean there is an in-coming World's First "Ban-Wave" for the PS3 Consoles?
I'm guessing the key part is this:

EDIT: (The Truth and Facts / This Is All Rumor For Now!)
Our many thanks to Mathieulh for re-tweeting this news from beatdowniidx, I found myself this morning over coffee reading tons of PM's and E-Mail's about this, so I was force to move the original source thread which was found right here on -SCENE to hopefully calm the waters done.
Fact #1: -- This is just an TOS update for PAN / EUROPE owners (UK,Africa,Aussie,Europe)!
Fact #2: -- This brings the PAN / EUROPE aggreement to the same level we had in NA (America) since June!
Fact #3: -- PSN is going down in those countries for service update, so you will see error 8002A240!
