Yeah but show me a person who actually reads an ELUA or any other contract for that matter.
Hell people do not read contracts on much more vital things such as employment contracts business contracts much less Facebooks ELUA.
I recall way back when I enlisted in the military after high school the guy at the in processing center tried to get me sign up as a "guaranteed" job. I refused and told him that the fine print said that that really means nothing I go where they need me most not where I want.The guy laughed and said "Smart kid you actually read the contract you'll do well in life".
Not like this little campaign will change anything no government will actually agree to that and everyone knows it.Even if they "do" their fingers will be crossed and they will wink as they talk about it.
And those companies say they care about privacy really? If they truly did and a government ordered them to do something if they had any real integrity they would have shut their service down and informed everyone what was happening.None of them did that so when I see them making these little change campaigns I see it for the pathetic joke that they really are.No what they care about is profits and they play this little game to fool people into thinking that they are not in cahoots with the whole thing.
