ACT is absolutely adressed through the rules against harassment, not by what's written in the ToS but by how they are applied. It just takes someone to use it responsibily to never get punished for it. And that's the point, fairly obvious in that famous live letter where yoship talked about ACT and parsers in more debt. Interviews that contain clarification are arguably more important than what's written because they can go more indepth at what the ToS actually mean to achieve.
No, ToS says absolutely nothing about ACT, it doesn't exist there. The only mention of ACT specifically IS IN THE INTERVIEW. And Yoshi P confirmed it is against ToS, but he can't prevent people from using it. He said if they try to harass other players with it, they will get the ban. The "grey zone" termin was never used niether by SE, nor Yoshida, that was something the community came up with because he didn't said they will straigh forward ban people for it. This is why it is important to actually watch the interview, not repeat after internet. And anyway, none of the players was banned for ACT, they had other mods that people are closing their eyes for at the moment, because some of the UI tweaks were revealing information hidden from player by design.
