Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Norway
consumer body stages live app terms reading
To read
or not to read. That is rather a simple and easy question to answer when it
comes to the terms and conditions of the app you’re about to use in your
smartphone. Have you ever read any?
A
consumer agency in Norway actually read all the terms and conditions of the
most popular apps the Norwegians use in their smartphones, an average of 33. Can
you imagine how long it took to read them out? It took longer than a day.
You can
easily tell that those terms and conditions aren’t designed to be read. They
are there for their own sake. But why? Do they really believe such unfriendly
notice and agreement will protect them from legal or ethical liabilities?
Enjoy
reading and thinking if there could be just one easy and simple notice that
smartphone users can choose to agree or not for any app.
