    Reminds me of a recent Disney case:

    It bothers me that we as a society continue to surrender our agency, our rights, and even our well-being to whatever restrictions a corporation makes up to benefit itself, just because they’re in a (practically unavoidable) terms & conditions document.

    It’s getting so bad that people sometimes mistake corporate policies for law, crying “that’s illegal” if someone steps outside the bounds of a software license.

    Adding insult to injury, enforcement of these things is paid for by us, through taxes.

      This would be the exact same type deal if it was an Uber driver that ran into a pedestrian that happened to have a Uber account and they said the victim can’t sue because they were an Uber user at one time. I think it’s time we all stop singing up for any service that has that clause. I know I plan to read the T&C for everything now.
