see above statements

2018-11-28 17:35:27 UTC  

but when it comes to things like EULAs? thats on you.

2018-11-28 17:35:42 UTC  

see facebook and them forcing opt-outs of new privacy raping 'features'

2018-11-28 17:35:42 UTC  

Eula?

2018-11-28 17:35:48 UTC  

yea if you accept you are basically fucked

2018-11-28 17:35:55 UTC  

End user licence agreement

2018-11-28 17:36:04 UTC  

But if you dont you cant use the service

2018-11-28 17:36:09 UTC  

u know that 100+ page crap that shows up whenever you redeem something on steam?

2018-11-28 17:36:12 UTC  

And thank you grenade

2018-11-28 17:36:44 UTC  

facebook led the way of adding new 'features' without communication, defaulted them to on and had them track you without consent or knowledge

2018-11-28 17:36:49 UTC  

if you don't accept it, you don't use the service....but you don't pay for the service so why do you have any right to use the service?

2018-11-28 17:37:06 UTC  

yes, and as my previous statements, you can use that against the company.

2018-11-28 17:37:08 UTC  

microsoft on updates resets tracking functions back to on randomly as well

2018-11-28 17:37:35 UTC  

the problem is not that they collect this stuff, its that they lie and/or don't tell you.

2018-11-28 17:37:51 UTC  

they ALL lie though, so are any of them blameless?

2018-11-28 17:38:14 UTC  

you can argue that things are too complicated or cumbersome to the point of unreasonable.

2018-11-28 17:38:20 UTC  

why do you still use them if you knows this now?

2018-11-28 17:38:23 UTC  

You're right but it would be nice if they did allow a "no" option to actually mean something and allow you to conti a to use

2018-11-28 17:39:07 UTC  

even discord added an artibitration clause recently to remove your rights to sue without notifying you directly

2018-11-28 17:39:11 UTC  

if you want to argue they need to give up the data they previously collected through lying, that's fine. you can do that, take up a civil lawsuit. thats why we have them

2018-11-28 17:39:42 UTC  

that clause will most likely not hold up in court.

2018-11-28 17:39:43 UTC  

Good luck winning though

2018-11-28 17:39:56 UTC  

not everything in a ToS is enforceable

2018-11-28 17:40:15 UTC  

for example, you can't say "by using this server, we can kill you"

2018-11-28 17:40:19 UTC  

it just has to be reasonably cost prohibitive to enforce your rights

2018-11-28 17:40:28 UTC  

I'm surprised they cant

2018-11-28 17:40:31 UTC  

they could put that in there, no court will adhere to it.

2018-11-28 17:40:49 UTC  

One could argue though why not

2018-11-28 17:40:51 UTC  

wait and the EU will allow that though

2018-11-28 17:40:56 UTC  

If you agreed

2018-11-28 17:41:03 UTC  

probably netherlands at first

2018-11-28 17:41:22 UTC  

ToS, at the end of the day, only protects their ability to kick you off their platform for no reason. And really, even without a ToS they could do that.

2018-11-28 17:41:58 UTC  

most EULA's do to, but they protect against lawsuits not because it makes it illegal for you to sue, its because if you do, they can go "but we did tell you, its right there."

2018-11-28 17:42:07 UTC  

you can still sue and win if the wordage is bad enough

2018-11-28 17:42:08 UTC  

Can you imagine if every business had a ToS

2018-11-28 17:42:25 UTC  

can you imagine if a credit card company had a ToS-- oh wait

2018-11-28 17:42:36 UTC  

Lol

2018-11-28 17:42:47 UTC  

can you imagine if those enforcing Tos' had to comply with them?

2018-11-28 17:43:05 UTC  

Can you imagine if people followed lawd

2018-11-28 17:43:07 UTC  

Can you imagine if a country had a ToS... ohh wait.

2018-11-28 17:43:11 UTC  

lol
