That’s not a common thing in American contracts. Severability clauses take care of that.
Comment on TikTok requires users to “forever waive” rights to sue over past harms

Is that true? I can't find any source for it, except very specific cases where the language and contents of the contract matter.

IANAL; However Usually the contracts have a severability clause, meaning even if some parts of that contract are null and void the rest of it stands minus the parts that are illegal. Does that mean those clauses are also null and void depending on locality? Again IANAL, but I believe it’s pretty settled contract law at least in the US.

There's zero chance that any user agreements ever have those.
Djtecha seemed to be saying there is some blanket rule in some states.

It’s a pretty common clause in most contracts, so I’m not sure why you’re so confident that they aren’t used in EULAs

In the United States where TikTok is based, contracts can include “severability clauses” that state that in the event any part of the contract is deemed unenforceable, the other parts are still good
