> T&C
I don't understand anyone who make this comment who isn't a a billion dollar company.
We are humans. T&Cs are fairytales written by lawyers to abuse our digital human right to interoperability.
People ought to be able to interact with their own accounts as they please.
- i_have_an_idea 3y agoI am not saying I agree with it. Just pointing out the current state of affairs, so people know the potential risks.
- smashah 3y agoEveryone should be encouraged to exercise their right to interoperability, coders should be praised for these types of projects. Potential risks are that a company might have to use their might against an individual potentially setting the precedent that terms and conditions are not legally binding contracts with any reprecrussions other than account deletion (imo fair game).
- i_have_an_idea 3y agoYou mean like in the United States v. Aaron Swartz case? I'm sorry, but accessing non-publicly available data in a way that violates the T&C of a site (which you agreed to, in order to be granted the registration), is well-established to be illegal and, if you are prosecuted, you can face serious penalties. People should not be encouraged to do things that can land them in jail.
