As an aside, I’ve started reviewing companies’ privacy policies, terms of service, etc. before I decide to sign up. This is coming from someone who has previously just clicked “I Agree” to whatever terms are there on signup (be nice).
- ziddoap 2y agoIf you haven't heard of it, "Terms of Service; Didn't Read" (https://tosdr.org/ https://tosdr.org/) can be a helpful addition to your review process. Obviously not every site is covered, and you may want to review the terms yourself anyways, but I've found it pretty useful when I'm not in the mood to read thousands of words of legalese.
- zephyreon 2y agoAmazing thank you for this.
- ibejoeb 2y agoAside-aside: I used to run a service called TOS Salad (probably even posted it here like 15 years ago) that monitored these policies and sent notifications when they changed. It was pretty crude stuff, mostly munging stuff with perl, but the notion was to detect key provisions that should be considered and material differences when things changed. With today's LLMs, it would be a lot better. I don't know if I'll pick it up again, but maybe someone else is inspired...
