- cortesoft 8y agoI mean, doesn't it depend on what they are collecting? If it turns out that Nielson slipped something into their T&C that says they can turn on a listening device and listen to conversations in the house, it would be just as troublesome. There are limits to what is reasonable in these sorts of deals, and if you are asking for something that most people would think is unreasonable, you better make it very clear when someone is signing up. You can't bury it in the T&C.
- elpool2 8y agoYeah, I guess it all depends on whether or not the participants knew what they were signing up for. If Facebook said install this we will pay you to monitor your location, internet traffic, and app usage then there really shouldn't be an controversy (other than the Apple terms violation). Do we know for a fact that this info actually was buried in their T&C though?
