Lately I actually read the terms on almost everything I open. Apps, accounts, updates, that little checkbox nobody reads. And every time, somewhere in my head, I'm saying fck no.
They want my location to show me the weather. My contacts so I can send a message. A license to everything I post, forever, in any media "now known or later developed." We click agree because the only other option used to be going without.
The terms end with us.

That really sucks! But in some sphere, consent is necessary.
Same here. Usually unacceptable.
