Yes, just like HR is there for employees.

That actually is a regular occurrence when their previous terms are judged to be illegal.
That’s still ultimately looking out for themselves
I have altered the deal. Pray I don’t alter it further.
This deal’s getting worse all the time…
Cloud services in a nutshell.
We and our 62894260215 Partners, including at least five modern versions of the SS, 35 Governments and the public, want the best for your privacy and security.
“We are doing some shady shit with your data and the world caught up to this so we now found a new loophole and thus had to update our privacy terms. Love and kisses.”
Samsung says I have to accept their privacy policy to continue using my phone. I have ignored that push message for like 4 years out of pure spite… I wonder what would happen if I did end up in court for some reason. I assume their lawyers would just argue that me using the phone is accepting the policy, whether I have read the policy or not.
It’s absolutely for your benefit! Oh, wait, did you say user? I thought shareholder. No, you can get in line for the rectal probing with everyone else.
The same way that when a “New and Improved” product is never improved for the benefit of us. It’s improving their bottom line.
Fuck privacy terms and conditions. All services should be able to collect all data they can

If it’s a free service it’s definitely not in your favor. If it’s a pair service, still most likely not in your favor.
I always remember that case where someone got injured at Disneyland and part of their Disney plus subscription is an agreement they can’t sue Disney.

IIRC they died(?) due to allergens in food that was supposed to be allergen free and due to their D+ subscription they waived their rights to sue (bullshit)

Definitely more fucked than I remembered.

That is so fucked up. The family should sue to have the terms stricken from the agreement and then sue for killing their person. Some jurisdictions don’t allow bullshit in the T&Cs like that.
But also Disney has a whole department of the most expensive lawyers in the world, so they’ll probably have to find a real heavy-hitter who does pro bono work.
Or a family member who doesn’t have D+ could sue…

That’s what they get for not pirating.

My lawyer advised me to pirate media to reduce my legal exposure. Just kidding… for now.
