+Title: When terms and policy turn users away
+Tags: english, personvern
+Date: 2019-12-07 21:10
+
+<p>When asked to accept terms of use and privacy policies that state
+it will to remove rights I otherwise had or accept unreasonable terms
+undermining my privacy, I choose away the service.  I simply do not
+have the conscience to accept terms I have no indention of upholding.
+But how are the system and service providers to know how many people
+they scared away?  Normally I just quietly walk away.  But todya, I
+tried a new approach.  I sent the following email (removing the
+specifics, as I am not out to take the specific service in question)
+to the service provider I decided to drop, to at least give them one
+data point on how many users are unhappy with their terms:</p>

+<p>Dear [Site Owner],</p>
+
+<p>I was eager to test the system, as it seemed like a fun and
+interesting application of [some] technology, but after reading the
+terms of use and privacy policy on &lt;URL:
+https://www.[some.site]/terms-of-use &gt; and &lt;URL:
+https://www.[some.site]/privacy-policy &gt; I want you to know that I
+decided to turn away.  There were several provisions in the terms and
+policy turning me off, but the final term that convinced me was being
+asked to sign away my right to reverse engineer.</p>
+
+<p>-- 
+<br>Happy hacking

+<p>I do not expect much to come out of it, but sharing it here in case
+others want to give it a try too.  If the terms scare away enough
+people, perhaps they will be improved...</p>
