Good one. I've always found disclaimers and terms of agreement to be predatory. I think there should be some laws around length and specificity so people really know what they're agreeing to.

@Dshhh I was kidding. I sort of clicked without reading, but I'm still going to say yes.

Yesterday I paid a $82 fee for not reading “ terms and conditions “ section well 🙃, so yeah, agreed

I think you are supposed not to read it. If a company writes a short and clear terms and conditions, I immediately like and trust them more. 😅

@Elessar What are those?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Classified Open source licenses. Very coincise

Classified · M

@Elessar Open source can be a lot more reliable, but even there I don't know what people are actually doing. 😅
Still I would choose it any day over those companies that use and sell your personal data.

lol, they don't want you to read it. That's how they hide stuff from you

Elessar · 26-30, M

@DavidScott I know, lol; but still, it has the potential of being one of those things you'd implement just to see the world burn

What I'd like to see happen is something like that South Park episode, "The Human CentiPad", where the company slips something absolutely horrible into the terms of service, just to teach people a lesson about clicking without reading.

@ShadowfireTheSarcastic A game corp once expressly put a clause that you could opt out from (and 85% of the customers didn't notice it) that expressly granted the company exclusive ownership rights on your immortal soul

@Elessar Epic!

I can't remember which software it was, but years ago when I installed something it said that I had to scroll down to the bottom of the agreement before it would let me continue 😂
