Nice idea but with all related things the ultimate question remains whether courts will actually recognize it. Currently courts will still consider paper-signed and scanned PDFs as legally binding, so any verification on top of that is supe

Mining towns used to work in the days when one parent worked full-time and one parent raised kids full-time, and job security, unions, and pensions were a thing. In modern times, both parents often have career ambitions, and the modern capi

Government cannot exactly "bar" terms of service. ToS isn't law. The most they can do is say they're unwilling to enforce them. ToS is just conditions that you agree to in order to use a private service that is provided
