The average user doesn't read those or know what they contain. Nor are they written simply enough or succinctly enough to expect that the average user comprehends them.

- somehnacct3757 5y agoIf you're referring to the McDonalds hot coffee case then it's a better example than you may realize. The case centers around a customer who has reasonable expectations for the temperature of hot coffee. What she doesn't know is that McDonalds stored their coffee at a much higher temperature than one would reasonably expect, because they advertised that your coffee would be hot when you got to your destination. What follows is a long procession of McDonalds settling burn cases so bad, victims needed skin grafts. Until the case you've probably heard of, where the victim sued for the amount of her skin graft, but the judge awarded her 1 day of McDonald's coffee profits, in an attempt to change McDonald's financial calculus that viewed scalding customers as a cost of business. I think this maps very nicely onto Facebook's terms of service.
