There should be a rule that if a ToS is longer than 200 words then it requires a bullet point summary list at the top.

- mikeash 7y agoThe trouble is, what happens when the summary is inaccurate or incomplete? If the summary takes precedence in that case, then the full ToS is meaningless and can be omitted, so you could simplify this to a rule requiring ToSs to be under 200 words. If the ToS takes precedence then the summary is meaningless.
- etbebl 7y agoInstead of summarizing the terms, it could be like nutrition facts warnings. Cross certain lines in the actual terms and you're required to put "See full terms for what your personal data can be used for" or something. If the terms cross lines without putting the warnings, they can't be enforced. It would have to be not overly restrictive limits, or you'd end up with a prop-65-like scenario. Or hell, just make a standardized "Privacy Facts" panel.
