On the contrary, it is commonplace for contracts to take away your rights.
A common example is an arbitration clause, where you sign away your rights to use the courts to resolve disputes.
- ben_w 9y agoSome rights, but not all rights. You cannot (in any country I am aware of) contract away your right to life, nor turn yourself into a slave in exchange for your debts being forgiven. The latter used to be possible, if I understand serfdom correctly. Question is, should data rights be alienable or inalienable?
- specialist 9y agoThank you for articulating, explaining stuff better than I can.
- grigjd3 9y agoIf you're talking about what rights you should have, that's fine. Currently, however, there is no defined right in the US such that service providers like google, Facebook, etc can't make use of the data they acquire from you. If you consider data on you to be more valuable than the service provided, don't use the service.
