They inform you that they have updated their terms of service and
- They summarize the changes using language that is incomprehensible and vague
- They require a login for you to read the new terms
There's just no end to their bullshit 🤣
@mods: Just wanted to vent. Delete if you find the post inappropriate.
Marge: "By reading this letter out loud, you agree not to sue us... hmmmm."
add this to the consumer rights wiki, if it isn't already :D
There's a simple solution to this issue: Delete your Google account, or even better, don't create a Google account to begin with!
It's all nonsense anyway. They're documents that veil and distract from material-reality. Like privacy-policies. Software-companies all have privacy-policies that detail their pursuit to strip you of privacy, but because they have a privacy-policy they point to it incessantly to claim: a) they care about [their] privacy; b) they have a privacy-policy. It's even in the name: privacy-policy. Ergo privacy.
Users should be quoting their privacy-policies to mock how they abuse their software to surveil users. Same for terms-of-use documents.
I had the displeasure of reading one of Facebook's documents. It's juvenile how they rename terms to sound less insidious. The tracking-pixel is no longer a tracking-pixel: it's just pixel technology and Facebook wants to highlight their use of pixel-technology to improve your "experience" without ever defining what a user's experience is supposed to be anyway.
Useless noise to hide and distract with. It's documentation that attempts to retroactively legitimize their abuses.
Another great reason to not have a google account.
Exactly! I live a Google free life in 5 years and getting on well. I was gettin on well before the Google days so i tjink we should all boycot this enshitification machine and take back what belongs to us, not to them. They have stollen it from us ... and i'm not left leaning ...
What is amazing is that all my discourse is starting to bear its fruits ... my 18 yr old son deleted his social accounts and got me to install GOS. And that is a big thing as only two years ago he yhought his dad was mentalky instable :-)
