> But the broader impact of the ruling is to put companies on notice that they can't bind users to restrictive terms merely by linking to those terms somewhere in a site or app's registration process. In order to create a legally binding contract, a tech company has actually put the terms in front of the user and get them to affirmatively agree to them. Does anyone believe that'd make any difference? Even if you showed the agreement and forced them to scroll down to activate the "I agree" button, I'm pretty sure nearly everyone that wouldn't click the links to read the agreements would also just scroll down and hit "I agree" without reading.
