I wonder whether there's a single human being on Earth who has read the entire T&C word for word. I assume multiple authors drafted and edited specific chunks, so it may even be the case that even the lawyers who wrote it haven't read the full thing, yet users are expected to have done it in some vague but legally binding way.
- codetrotter 3y ago> it may even be the case that even the lawyers who wrote it haven't read the full thing idk. I thought lawyers loved billable hours. Maybe some poor intern at some law firm had to spend a few months reading the full thing over and over again until it all made sense to him :p
- pessimizer 3y agoIf it takes 30 hours to read, it will probably change before you're done reading it.
- grotorea 3y agoAnd how legally binding those T&C really are anyway?
- greyface- 3y agoProbably quite binding, unfortunately. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickwrap#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickwrap#United_States
- odensc 3y agoThey didn't even quote that analysis correctly. It shows that it would take 30 minutes for the average person... big difference there.
