> So if I hit the "agree" button on TOS that are long and complex enough that I am not expected to reasonably understand, I am not bounded by them, because I never provided consent? That has its own debate. The company is the powerful party with lawyers writing up their TOS. Consumers are laypeople that cannot reasonably retain legal counsel to review every TOS they have to sign, nor do they have the time to actually read them all themselves (it takes multiple months of 40 hour weeks time to fully read all TOS that the average person consents to). Given this asymmetry, why do we have the onus fall on the consumer to be responsible for understanding the terms, when we could put the legal responsibility on the company to be responsible for confirming that the consumer understands the TOS before the company can sell it? If a company had to confirm you knew what you were consenting to, they would by necessity have to simplify and clarify their TOS.
