RE: Do You Read Terms of Service Before Clicking Accept?

in #tosdr7 years ago

It's a good effort, but you're not really going to change anything. The reason why companies have TOS agreements is to protect themselves. Thus they are legal documents. The reason why legal documents are hard to read is because they must be written in the form of a legal document otherwise they can be challenged in court.

If a company makes TOS agreements simpler to read they open themselves up to suit based on the document being to vague.

Being able to sue a company is a consumer's greatest recourse for making companies behave themselves. It is also one of the consumers greatest problems such as the resulting TOS agreements

That is a great comment. Thank you for sharing your opinion.
Are there many cases when consumers won law suits?

I know that there are two lawsuits in progress. One from Louder with Crowder (Steven Crowder). And one from Prageru (unsure of the spelling). Those two lawsuits were just filed. To my knowledge there's no real action on them.

I don't know if anybody has actually won against any major social media outlets, or websites.

Personally, if I wanted to develop a large following, which I do not, I would have a primary, such as YouTube, and to a secondary such as dtube. I would also make sure that the users on each system knew about the other system . These people who develope a huge following, and only upload to one site, are just begging to get burned (some of them are already are getting burned.)

Another great advice. Thank you!
I will think about starting a dtube channel
