Comment on Why can't I change the terms and conditions in a pre-signed contract with a corpo?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 14 hours agoThis is pretty much it. We all bitch and complain about changes in the agreement, but you always have the option of not accepting those terms. It’s just that once the products and services get their teeth in us, we don’t want to give that up, so we click agree and obey our masters.

Some of it is nearly non negotiable. Like my bank changing their terms and conditions, sure i could go to another bank, but they’ve probably already got the same terms and conditions or the same changes coming. And it can be very difficult to live a normal life without a bank account.

I agree completely.
I now see how it may have sounded like I was recommending that everyone quit using these services. If you can break free, that’s great, but I know that’s rarely a possibility without completely complicating our own lives.
They know they got us by the balls. That’s why they do it.
