I consider this evidence against Uber's case. For example, I recently set up a new smart TV and Google Home sound system for my parents. There had to have been 8 separate legal agreements, each very long, just to get to the point where we had a picture and sound came out the speakers. They are sense blobs of legalese, and most people assume they know what they say, but they don't.
It is ridiculous to ask people to either retain a personal lawyer or pursue their own education in law, just so they can understand and agree to the Terms and Conditions, EULA, and privacy agreements for all their apps.
Is it specifically Uber's fault the vast majority of users don't actually understand what they've agreed to? No. But it's reality, and we can't just ignore it.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoTangentially; It's awfully hard to get the TOS/EULA etc, before purchasing a product which essentially coerces the end user into agreeing under duress. I don't need to sign a eula to take a taxi or train, why should I expect the uber eula to be anything except: -if I damage the car I pay for repairs -i agree to pay for the trip -i agree to follow the laws of the land ?
