    Give up your firstborn child? Most people don’t read terms of service agreements

    Aug. 25, 2016

    You’ve probably done it—clicked “I accept” after scrolling to the bottom of a company’s terms of service. A new study shows that you’re not alone; those who accept terms of service without reading them first are in the majority, NPR reports. The study set up a fake social networking . . . . . . that the users’ firstborn children would be surrendered as form of payment. As you might expect, 98% of people using the site didn’t notice the clauses, . . .

    Same thing with getting married. You say "I do" without really reading the contract.



    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      That's really bizarre, It sounds like two of the Brother's Grimm Fairy Tales: Rumpelstiltskin and Rapunzel

        The whole purpose of the wedding vow was to disallow divorce. The state does not honor vows to God. [Which BTW historically it was over the issue church-state loyalty oaths which brought about the first baptist church in Providence Rhode Island.]

          I guess I should have used sarcasm tags for the humor impaired.

            I saw the humor. But this other issue has been on my mind of late. It has been interestingly been long running [background] joke that agreeing to software licenses agreements unread, were signing away their first born.
