I Have Read and Agree to the Terms: The Biggest Lie in Tech

Proposal status is Rejected
Session Description

We've all done it, scrolled straight to the bottom and clicked Accept without reading a single word. As a junior associate at a tech law firm, I read these dense agreements for a living, so you don't have to. In this lighthearted 15-minute talk, we'll look at the things hidden in standard software Terms of Service and Privacy Policies. I will break down what you’re actually signing away and give you a 3-point cheat sheet on what to look out for before you click accept.
