What is technology? : The site helps users understand the terms of use of Facebook, Google and other companies | What is technology?

Not only do we not only read the terms of service, but we also find it annoying having to scroll to the bottom of the page before lying.

It will take about an hour to read Facebook terms, or even more if you need to understand them. There are some scary things there.

Fortunately, someone will read it to you. It’s a website called “Terms of Service, Didn’t Read”. A group of volunteers who read the terms of use cut out the legal text and put it all into words we can understand. They publish what they find on a non-profit site.

When you signed up for Facebook, you agreed that it could use your photo and name for marketing campaigns without compensation and store your biometric data like your face. It also reads your personal messages. Pinterest too. And according to volunteer readers, Roblox, Disney+, Fox News, and TikTok can also do this.

In order to use all of these apps and services, you have waived your right to sue while waiving your “moral rights” to use Spotify and CNN.

Terms of use have not been read, ie TSODR.ORG, updates the information when companies change their terms, and assigns a rating to each service. Facebook, Google, and others that may surprise you get failed grades.

Companies force you to agree to their terms. The only option is not to use it. Don’t like Apple’s terms of service, don’t buy an iPhone.

There are strange and random things in some of these tendons. Maybe the real reason we don’t read it is because we don’t have the time or we don’t understand, because we don’t want to know what’s inside because we want to use the products.
