We need regulation around this sooo bad. Nobody reads TOS, or at least 99.9999% of people don't because it's simply too much. It's unreasonable to expect people

We need regulation around this sooo bad. Nobody reads TOS, or at least 99.9999% of people don't because it's simply too much. It's unreasonable to expect people to read these long documents and understand what they mean. We need requirements of high-level overviews in very plain language. Slimming this stuff down and removing BS lawyer fluff is the only way in my eyes.
- Terr_ 3y agoIn a way it's a failure of precedent rather than regulation, since ideally the judge would throw some of these contracts out the same as if they had special clauses in microscopic font.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoI agree. It honestly feels like these could be boiled down to about 30 “standard” options.
- squarefoot 3y ago> Nobody reads TOS, or at least 99.9999% of people don't because it's simply too much. Huge opportunity for a service using AI that does, then reports on a public site businesses using shady language or hiding traps, possibly assigning a score.
- ahaseeb 3y agoYeah - Probably just explaining any contract on a higher level and if there'a red flag etc
- ipaddr 3y agoEmail them your own TOS. If they continue service after notification they can be held to those TOS.
