So legally speaking, what happens if it was my 8 year old son, who clicks buttons with no regard for human life, that agreed to this BS TOS? How is that legally binding?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

Yeah, this is really dumb. There's no way they can prove the owner clicked on it and they can't hold anyone else to the terms.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

It isn't, an 8 year old can't be held to a contract like this. IANAL.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah our special needs child didn't have much to say about the new terms. He probably didn't read the whole thing though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

did you ASK him if he read the entire thing?

NO- you just assumed he didn't. He's probably up in his bedroom thinking about them terms right now
