Open Terms Archive publicly records every version of the terms of service
- redeux 3y agoThis is a cool project but it doesn’t actually do a good job of highlighting the changes between ToS changes, or at least not that I could find.
- mdaniel 3y agoAs best I can tell, they're expecting git and its associated "compare this point against this point" behavior to do that; e.g. https://github.com/OpenTermsArchive/pga-versions/commit/7572415812625544154eb75b6099a88d4e44c161 https://github.com/OpenTermsArchive/pga-versions/commit/7572... I got to that link by clicking on "Explore History" underneath "Platform Governance Archive (Major global social media services)" but I don't this second know what "Jurisdiction: European Union" means -- does that mean they only gathered the ToS from .. err, eu.reddit.com(?) or whatever? Unclear
- rmurrish 3y agoAre there any standard ToS? One of the biggest advantages of open source for me, is that I can see "GPL2" or "MIT" or whatever, and immediately know what I can do with the software. If there were similar standard ToS and Privacy Policy documents, I'd happily use them on my projects, and it'd be better for creators and consumers in a lot of cases.
