I knew more than many that worked there, just by actually reading their terms, and understand the mindset behind them.

Yeah okay, guy. You know more about it than people with direct experience. In fact their direct experience only clouds their minds!

You have a dangerous kind of arrogance. The kind that makes you think you know what’s best for others more than they do just by your piercing insight.

You also patently don’t understand how to read a TOS. They are by design incredibly over-reaching and self-interested to the exclusion of the rights of others. This is a legal fiction they reserve in advance so that no matter the eventuality, they can claim you agreed to it. It represents the uttermost limit of what they can imagine. Not the center of gravity of what it’s like to work there.

Anyway, I don’t need to hear more about how your insight penetrates the world from the comfort of your chair.

You bet I know how to read terms of service agreements, I even had a major dispute over it with Autodesk in the mid 90's. With the company I had started with a friend.
And after a couple communications they stopped making demands against us, because their fucking terms of service was illegal, which here in Denmark defaults the whole thing.

So stop making claims about what people know and don't, the Facebook terms of service was equally illegal here, but there is no way to stop an American company to abuse your information as an ordinary civilian.
