Terms of Service; Didn't Read 🚥

@0xCaponte Hey, the summary is too short for our algorithm and there for only a C. You may comment on the algorithm here tosdr.community/curent_rating

@ToSDR I think that some of the issues that need the user consideration might be missing. For example, Tor-Browser got a C, but I dont seem to find why exactly. Not even in the details.

We regret to have to inform you that we will be shutting down our public Matrix server. Check out our forum post to find out what to do if you have an account, why we are shutting down and how the timeline on this will be. tosdr.community/t/matrix-tosdr… #matrix #tosdr

@HenkPoley Hey, thank you. We are aware, might take a while though, we are migrating servers and that has priority ~MB

@ToSDR Your TLS certificate on shields.tosdr.org has expired.

@ukauwa_david yeah you can use @ToSDR extensions and they’re also a bunch of new AI legal related toolings to do this.

Is there a product that reads all your terms and conditions for you and lets you know if there’s anything fishy before you click I accept?

@startpage 👀

Besides Startpage, what other tools do you use to protect your privacy?

"You consented to that data collection" I push back against the myth of consent in a world where companies deliberately try to obfuscate how much data they're collecting, and wrap it in 60 pages of legalize and vague language.

@earthtrib3r @naomibrockwell Providing summaries of ToS and privacy policies since 2012! tosdr.org

@naomibrockwell Someone needs to do legal breakdowns of these contracts... if they are not already.

@gnukeith Generally our rating takes more in to account than just privacy, so reading at least our summary is important to understand the rating. ~MB

@gnukeith Hey, The DuckduckGo's rating went down because they introduced a ToS for some of their services that includes this point: edit.tosdr.org/services/222 Getting an A rating is difficult and a B should be seen as good! ~MB

@cr7_0111 @gnukeith Hey, our algorythem was adjusted, Tor's policy is simply too short to recieve a better rating. You can read amd contribute about our rating here: tosdr.community/t/updating-the… ~MB

Le programme de financement européen NGI est en danger. Cette initiative permet de soutenir financièrement des centaines de projets libres communautaires. Cette disparition mettrait en péril tout l’écosystème des logiciels libres qu’il consolide. framablog.org/2024/07/14/lun…

Be honest when was the last time you read a privacy policy? 🧐

@bssthx @startpage Obviously yes. /s ~MB

Just ask our friends at @ToSDR...

Good a time as any to revisit this study from 2008 by @lorrietweet and co that found that it would take 244 hours (or a month, if you spent 10 hours a day reading) to review all the privacy policies you agree to in a given year: kb.osu.edu/server/api/cor…
