Like the TLDR summary is: "A BILL To require the Federal Trade Commission to issue a short-form terms of service summary statement, and for other purposes."

Yeah, but most bills' summaries are pages long and filled with legalese. Edited January 15, 2022 by LittleMe Jewell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bree Giffen Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Sounds like a good idea for everyone involved. If the bill is passed, it would make me read SL's TOS. I would also read Facebook's TOS just for laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee Pancake Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Owning your first born's limbs is a competitive advantage few US corps will be willing to give up, especially after they went to all the trouble of hiding it a couple of hundred pages into an impenetrable legalese document (that would take weeks to unpick if ever challenged and you're expected to agree to it in the moment). At the end of day in the Senate; there is no way this will get any republican votes (because nothing does), Manchin & Sinema wont touch it, so ... unless it's strapped to a few billion dollars worth of innovative ways to industrially murder people far far away, I'm not expecting this or anything like it to make it into final law. Now I have to wonder, given as this bill is going to attract an insane amount of lobbying money, doesn't everyone have to at least pretend it has a fighting chance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hexem Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I suspect for a lot of these, the TLDR will still be several pages long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
