- ErikCorry 5y agoGoogle signed a contract? Do you have the text of this contract?
- flutas 5y agoIt's the TOS. When you agree to it, you are entering into a contract with that company. In exchange for agreeing to their terms, you get access to their services.
- boring_twenties 5y agoDo you have some more details about this? Because there's nothing informative in the article. I find it extremely difficult to believe that Google signed a contract obligating it to host any and all content uploaded by the user, regardless of what it is. But hey, I've been surprised before.
- red_trumpet 5y agoIANAL, but if I understand this German article [1] correctly, then the changes in Youtube's ToS were not contractually effective, because the user was not asked to comply. The fine was then imposed because Youtube took > 3 weeks to comply with the court's order to make the video accessible.
