alt Hacker NewsIn most cases you can’t use the device without agreeing to the terms of service right?
For example a service I use a lot recently changed their terms of service - there was no way to keep using the service without agreeing.
Might be different for devices or services that don’t need internet to function; but even for those you have some “activation” step nowadays that forces you to agree before “unlocking”

Yeah ?
Who agreed to that ToS ? Abby McAbbott ? With no phone number ? A throwaway email address ?
As I said: I have not entered into any agreements of any kind with Abbott. You should not either.

Just imagine how different the world would be if this wasn't allowed and any time a ToS was pushed out like this the user had the option to offer a counter ToS and the company must have a human look it over and agree/disagree within a set period of time.
You know, Kind of like a real contract.
