Terms of Service: The Length of Common Digital Contracts Do you take the time to read the terms of service before you agree to when downloading the latest app or software?

Of course you do…

The world is awash with apps and internet services that ask potential users to agree to a service agreement. Most people click on ‘agree’ and move on, knowing that reading the service agreements could put them to sleep and defer their favorite internet fix.

I’ve tried to read the full terms of service before and on top of being very long, they’re overly vague when it comes to what they collect.

    It's all fuckin moot because most of them say something like "these terms can be changed at any time and by agreeing to these terms, you implicitly agree to those terms".

    Probably wouldn't stand up in court, but most people don't have the money to fight a court case they would obviously win, so that doesn't matter either.
