I don’t read tos (as in contracts of online services) but I don’t cry when something unexpected happens because I didn’t read them.

It’s my right to sign contracts without reading them. It’s not my right to pretend I didn’t sign them because I didn’t read them.

So you are ok with a system that is created to legally bind you to something you don't know and can be used against you later unless you take tremendous efforts to not be?

In that case, ok.

Most people are not, and it's reasonable.

In fact, it's terrible that we have to rely on lawyers because the law is so complicated you can't know or understand it all, just to live you regular life.

But TOS are even worst. Because they are asymmetrical. You don't get some right and some duty. Only duty for you, and rights for the other party, which is already economically and socially in a position of strength compared to you.

And no, it's not acceptable to tell people to accept that or live in a cave.

I don't have a google account attached to my android phone. This makes my life more difficult in all sort of ways, because society assumes more and more than I do.

So I'm just being punished because I don't want to give my life to a big corporation.

I understand people think it's BS. You should not have to do that.

Of course you get rights: the right to use the service!
