Various ToSes already attempt this. Either by forcing you to scroll to the end, timing you, or by putting verification next to each paragraph. Still, no one reads them. The problem is putting a legal contract before a leisure app. I'd rather see legislation that requires the reading level and length of the ToS to match the reading level and attention span of the average user.
- seanp2k2 9y agoThe problem, as I’m sure you’re aware, is that the reading level and attention span in this case are minimal. People click through ToSes just as they click through installers. Even if the ToS was 5 words on the screen in 36pt bold font saying “WE COLLECT: Text, call, and contact data”, people would still not take the time to read or understand or care about what that actually means. They want to see cat / friend / baby photos, and will mash buttons until that happens, onboarding processes and tutorials be damned.
