Fairly, respectfully, and without exploitation?

Most business conducted in the world does not require someone to reject their lawful rights. For consumers in the EU, for example, the law even offers explicit protections by stating specifically that contract terms which are unfair have no legal binding.

> I don't like what I signed up for freely

I believe the post makes a good case that "freely" doesn't mean by choice at all. In other words, not what people consider freely.

"Exploitation" isn't an objective term. It often just means "I don't like what I signed up for freely".
