gollark: Unrelatedly, I've run into some extremely weird issues trying to flash Android on my new phone.
gollark: That's basically my view. The ToSes don't really *mean* much, since they are probably not particularly legally enforceable and the platform can probably do pretty much whatever anyway.
gollark: Maybe eventually NLP stuff will let you get convenient autosummaries.
gollark: I could probably throw together a browser extension which flags interesting keywords or something.
gollark: I bet if you put a clause in saying something like "You also agree that your soul is forfeit to me." or "For users who are citizens of the European Union, we will now be requesting permission before initiating organ harvesting." nobody would even notice.
