It's all nonsense anyway. They're documents that veil and distract from material-reality. Like privacy-policies. Software-companies all have privacy-policies that detail their pursuit to strip you of privacy, but because they have a privacy-policy they point to it incessantly to claim: a) they care about [their] privacy; b) they have a privacy-policy. It's even in the name: privacy-policy. Ergo privacy.
Users should be quoting their privacy-policies to mock how they abuse their software to surveil users. Same for terms-of-use documents.
I had the displeasure of reading one of Facebook's documents. It's juvenile how they rename terms to sound less insidious. The tracking-pixel is no longer a tracking-pixel: it's just pixel technology and Facebook wants to highlight their use of pixel-technology to improve your "experience" without ever defining what a user's experience is supposed to be anyway.
Useless noise to hide and distract with. It's documentation that attempts to retroactively legitimize their abuses.
