By letting ToS have the force of law...

• nitrogen 7y ago
  What is a contract if not something backed by the force of law? There's a big difference between "I want a public profile so colleagues and employers can contact me about opportunities" vs "I want a public profile so some third party I have no knowledge of can enable others to discriminate against me".

    Try contacting the police if someone breaches your tos. They will tell you to get a lawyer and not bother them. You have to sue for breach of contract. It's a civil matter rather than a legal one if breached.

    hiQ didnt sign a contract. It's public info. They broke the ToS, but unless the ToS get inserted into a contract, and signed by both parties we arent even in Civil Law terratory, which is what this excellent court decision confirmed.
