A lot of times TOSDR’s simplifications are just condensing the legalese and not actually interpreting it.
For example, it notes “This service can license user content to third parties”, which can sound super scary until you read that it says “in connection with operating and providing the Service“, which is the language every service with user-generated content uses to let you know that they have to sub license anything you post to other users if they want to show it to them.
It would be useful to know what impact some verbiage has, rather that reading 50 different tooltips that make it seem like the service is a Facebook ads competitor.

- kayxspre 4y agoSome interpretation isn't correct as well. [1] suggests that an account can be deleted, but none of the words in T&C or Privacy Policy says they can do so. For Wikipedia, there is a standard practice that an account cannot be deleted as it will violate the terms of the license that requires attribution of the individuals contributing. There has been a request at [2] to implement this feature, but it doesn't look like the team is giving priority.
