I get what you’re saying here, but is there an alternative to “take it or leave it” policies on the internet? It’s not like a company can negotiate with each individual user and come to a meeting of the minds.
That said, it seems like the real issue is that the policies are too long and unreadable. For that, I think providing a plain language version that clearly states “this is not the official policy,” but links to the official policy, could be good enough. I don’t know how much legal exposure is involved for the company here, but it seems like a workable compromise.
- Karunamon 7y ago>is there an alternative to “take it or leave it” policies on the internet? Anywhere covered by GDPR, for one. One of the features of that law is that you don't get to make access to your service conditional on providing personal information that is not strictly necessary to make the service work.
- pmiller2 7y agoThat doesn’t apply to TOS other than privacy and data usage terms. This is a far more general problem than GDPR can solve.
