someone (with actual legal expertise) really has got to write something on how to read privacy policies and TOS' and what common boilerplate sections really mean / why they exist, because im so tired of all the FUD every time a company changes their TOS - ThreadSky

makes it really hard to see when actual bad changes happen as well if it's drowned out by the same bullshit every time

I'm assuming this is abt the Mozilla stuff around their ToU introduction

I just assume its being done to screw their customers, either out if arbitration rights, ownership of purchased goods, money, privacy, or all four at once.

I have yet to be dissapointed.

mozilla’s new “acceptable use policy” for firefox is insane. have you seen any of it?

I just read it. The only thing that I find odd is that it seems to suggest you can't view "sexually graphic content," but idk if that's actually referring to porn or not. That's the only actual problem I could find with the policy. Everything else is general "dont do illegal or mean things"

waterfox or librewolf maybe

How about a standard privacy policy with checkboxes for each standard issue. Like a nutrition label. For a baseline, use the 1995 privacy policy for desktop software Microsoft Office (back when it was obvious that an office suite could function w/no internet or privacy violations)

not exactly written but @rejectconvenience.com occasionally does youtube streams reading through tos stuff, might be the kinda thing you're looking for

i heard the new uhh whatever it is TOS contains "if you accept then we're allowed to send someone to your house to kill you" if you read all the words in it as entirely different words
