It's entirely unreasonable to assume that the average person has the time or knowledge necessary to read, comprehend and agree to every terms of service agreement shoved in their face. Legislation should reflect this fact, and there should be something similar to game and movie ratings that give an easy to understand summary of the agreement.

    Imagine if there was a law for making the contracts easier to understand.

    1. We’ll spy on you and sell your data to the highest bidder.
    2. When something goes wrong, it’s your fault.
    3. You can’t blame us.
    4. No money back.
    5. When in doubt, we do what Darth Vader would do.

    Come to think of it, slot machines do tell you quite clearly how bad the odds really are, but people still dump their money on them. Why can’t we have similar honesty and clarity when it comes to contracts.
