useless gripe
Thursday, August 9th, 2007 10:16 amWebsites should not be allowed to make proclamations such as "We've updated our Terms and Conditions. Go to this page ... to see the updated version. Your continued use of the service indicates your acceptance of the updated terms."
I already read (or skimmed) the whole long thing when signing up for the service. If they change their conditions, they should be required to also list those changes separately, not just the whole updated document. Users should not have to read the whole 10 or 20 page thing all over again from scratch. I'm sure they know that very few people are likely to do so, and therefore most people will not know what the changes are, and what they are implicitly agreeing to.
