Data monopoly license

 A government could implement a data monopoly license law. The law would enable the people to license the monopoly rights to their data to the service providers like Youtube, Alibaba, etc. With this license, they would be able to sue other companies or other people who used their unlicensed data for profit. 

Touhou Lost Word's website

If you'd like to check out a site with reasonable and friendly policies (fairly short) but with interesting original/licensed contents check out https://global.touhoulostword.com/

However their game still has quite a sizeable not as chill terms and/or policies, unfortunately

What I think is missing in website services that personally identify you

Nowadays privacy policies are rarer found those that said "We will not personally identify you". This means that our data would be used to personally identify us in order to provide their services. Would this personalized data be given to affiliates or service provider third parties? Based on the privacy policies that we'd agree, they could. 

One way of misusing this would be, that affiliated executives could personally target certain people that considered detrimental to their profitability and influenced the share market or any market that they're investing in to be more expensive for them to gain (compared to others). This is subtle and hard to prove but based on your data from your devices, hard to say that it can't be done. 

So we should have in our system profile account section our monitoring of our data part. We could check in real time the displays of our database, where they've been, who has them, and how much monetization it had successfully generated. In turn we could also get money or acquire shares of the benefit, well, it is debatable whether the benefit has ended with the service we've used from the app/website, but to each cases there would be their own concerns. The most important thing is that we should be able to monitor our personally identified deductions and profiling, etc because among many other reasons it could be dangerous to our well-being. 

Also it is subject to audit the website or apps that said they don't personally identify us, maybe the aggregation could be deciphered by another third party or affiliates in another country. Maybe an A.I would personally identify us, is an A.I separate entity from the company?

For those who haven't put those concerns in their privacy policies, such us we would make sure that those who handled your data signed confidentiality agreement not to... such and such..., if the stakes are high, people would want to have them do so and such (ex: your data would only be used for the specific purpose and nothing else). 

My mistake

I said that when entering a site you should read the privacy policy first, but really now I think its better to read the terms and conditions first. We are the one visiting not the other way around.

However is there merit in prioritizing the privacy policy? I think for some sites where you couldn't avoid but using, for example government tax office requires you to install a certain application, in this case the privacy policy is better to be prioritized.

Seems like a small detail if you usually read both, but overtime this wrongness accumulates, really. 

Lets have units of stakes v.03

Let's define units of stakes, it could take into account more things but this could be one of the usable definitions:

Dim a stake as 0.00000000001% GDP (including equivalents)

When the stakes are below 10, common popular customs defined by influencers apply

When the stakes are above 10 but lower than 100, the terms and conditions should apply

Now since units of stakes have been defined, people could have multiple versions of Legal Fields applied to their contents. 

When the stakes are above 100, below 500, the pro terms and conditions would apply, and so on and so on.

-------------------------

Equivalence definition could be referenced from barter tax laws... (maybe)

-------------------------

Now that we could have multiple terms, I hope at higher stakes there could be a requirement for corporations to sit down and consider counter contracts from their counterparts. Single way contract at high stakes should not be applied unwillfully to another. At least we should be able to express our will in a socially commonly intuitive manner.

-------------------------

The power to refuse from being involved in something, including in higher stake interactions should be a right, and should be protected, for that being a part of Justice

OVO's Privacy and Terms v.05 (please check my disclaimer page at the homepage)

Privacy: https://www.ovo.id/kebijakan-privasi

Terms : https://www.ovo.id/syarat-ketentuan

Although this is in Bahasa Indonesia but one thing that's striking about the way they are written and presented are that they are really nice to read. The colors gave you this chill and smooth feeling, while reading it in Bahasa Indonesia is also pretty smooth as they keep it commonly comprehensible. 

I'd like to emphasize that I'm not all celebrating 100% of the contents, but it's still delightful to know that there are people that actually put their passion into writing these legal documents so that we could have good relationships with each other. Shows that there's hope in humanity (hahaha). Seriously human beings should really consider the legal matters of things between their relationships because they are as real as logic and feelings, a matter of legacy as much as culture, and a matter of wisdom and humbleness (conservatism) as much as advices that leads to Truthful freedom among each other. So legal relationships between human beings are also bonds of kinship that shouldn't be overlooked. 

I'd like to point out in general that such legal documents would be easier to read if they had some sense of spontaneity in them. If all legal documents were monotonous but a little bit different, or in Bahasa Indonesia but actually just a straight translation from English, they would be incredibly hard to read. You had to read it because it's not the same, but really your whole instinct said that it's the same, so then you'd had to exterted the effort to fight that "laziness" while trying to discover the slight uniqueness of the texts relative to their "twins", and then tried to understand it as a paragraph, and then tried to understand it as the whole text and then in the context of the particular relationship. 

So legal documents such as GoJek's, this one OVO, FFBE WOTV's, are examples of those that had spontaneity elements in them. Google and Microsoft's also, Google and Microsoft are trying to have their own things but their services are huge, and its to be expected within the heftiness of those documents mostly would be cliché. Probably other service providers were inspired by Microsoft's. I couldn't appreciate enough how Google is trying really hard to make their legal documents intuitive, very creative (but they shouldn't lose the pressing and the seriousness context of the legal documents, should you walk in the park? or should you run in a warzone? The ambiguousness of the context is a prevalent difficulty). 

------------------------

After repeated reading, I decided that even though the format is nice but I disagree about a clause that forbid me from hurting the companies' reputation. Like now, could I be considered hurting their reputation? Rather arguable whether or not it's a free speech issue isn't it. (Referring to the T&C valid 4 Maret 2021, part I.3, accessed 11'th of February 2022). 

So I decided to end my relationship. 

Here's another problem, some media won't actually deleted everything of my data even after I've specifically asked them to erase my data. Blibli.com for example, still have my email and still sending me messages. 

-------------------------

Edit: 3rd of March 2022,

I talked about "twins" being harder to read, I actually found that it's not. But I wasn't lying though I can't really explain it but I'd just say I didn't know what I was talking about. 

I'm reading a text now and I found it easier to read texts similar to what I had read before. So what was I talking about? I don't know

Edit again: I guess it's this, if the terms and conditions were huge / hard also difficult to comprehend, having familiar texts would help. But having texts that are novel while easy to understand is better than hefty collections of cliche 

Public Places of the Internet v.07

If only there's a Public Place of the Internet that is not owned by companies, people could go there and hang out and do various activities together. Their terms and conditions should be universal as well. 

People who go there could have general expectations of what kind of customs should apply as well as what information would be exchanged in public places, and they would be right.

Currently the internet is a public place thank God, only its like a huge piece of land, it has no park, no public venues, no roads, no bridges, everything's private. Free market is great, however this free market is monopolistic with little alternatives. Yes yes, I'm not against free market its because of the anti-competitive practices and law, points arguable, but lets not go there (the considerations are heavy and would segway the topic). The reality is, there's little alternatives to google and facebook. Twitch and tik tok, crunchyroll maybe, but even so its still too few. 

Instead of private social medias, we should have open source social medias that have a universal terms and conditions and privacy policy, an open venue where people could open up different kinds of stalls of social applications there. 

To finance the venue the social medias could implement the golden sticker system

NVIDIA's EULA and Privacy Policy is the oasis

NVIDIA's EULA and Privacy Policy linked from their GeForce Experience installer is just more than 1 page long, both of them. I take it as my dreams could come true. I could zoom out the page to 50% and everything fit.

Since the EULA doesn't appear in their website I can't link to the document from here. But the privacy policy (accessed in May, 2021) should be checked out, it is really compact compared to other big companies' privacy policies

Very Nice :)

Me We's Privacy Bill of Rights v.02

So I was browsing Mr Eric Berg DC in youtube, and found out he was on this social media I never heard of.

Turned out it has Sir Tim Berners-Lee the world wide web inventor as its advisor, and it uses the Privacy Bill of Rights that I think is soooo great

Your Phone Number

I think there's a benefit in governments took away people's phone number from the telecommunications providers. Just the number not the services, so that when we objected to certain practices, we could just change to their competitors without having to change number. 

Cause this is not 2001 when our number is just a relationship between the company and us, now it is tied to our banking, to other important applications that contains our public administrative identities. How could we change number now? and moreover in the future?

Cause there are clauses in most terms and conditions where they could change the terms and conditions, the contract, at their own whim and our continued usage of their services would be considered as acceptance and binding. If it were a business contract you would be scratching our hair vigorously and objected to it with passion. 

The digital terms and conditions might seem harmless some years ago, but overtime people are going to face problems, and one way or the other they are going to be "forced" to abuse some of the terms or clauses to their benefit, something unusual. Let's say in another 3 years they're going to want to do it again, and their business were going to be built upon the abuse... for example it used to be just a company storing your data in their own server, now they are sharing your data with third parties, and then next they couldn't conduct their businesses without it, the overtime there would come a need to require you to guarantee permission to your data for the next 2 years or 5 years... I mean something like that, since nobody's paying attention, and nobody's calling them out, it's only usual that they are going to build upon it and build upon it and build upon it.

Now I'm reading this telecommunication company's terms and conditions, and if it were other sites on the internet I would just object to the usual, lengthy, foreign, and hard to decipher, but now what's at stake is my number that I've been using for long and for most of my lifestyle needs... I couldn't just object... and what if they started some predatory practices? there's nothing I could do about it but to change my number... and then I had to start over again (I would be missing some data update with other applications that might still be tracking my interests based on the old number). 

This is not good, but what could I do about it?

Regulation Idea: Non Common Practices Label v.02

Sometimes products offer warrants, and people would expect that they might not include shipping costs. Restaurants might offer discounts, but not including drinks... another "expected" terms. 

But if a product had uncommon terms such as, "partially licensed not 100% sold", or requires users to have another product or to buy another accessories in order to fully function, or legal peculiarities such as phones imported from countries banned by the U.S, unregistered board / machines, or other uncommon, unexpected terms like that... the products should be labelled or marked with an "unusual practices" label. 

In order for such labels to work, countries or territories needed to define their currently common terms of trade and services. This also would make it easier for terms and conditions reader such as myself if this motivated companies to highlight discrepancies of their terms from the defined "standards". 

Apple iCloud's "INDEMNIFICATION" paragraph v.02

There is this "INDEMNIFICATION" paragraph in iCloud Terms and Conditions that said two things I object:

1. "... you cannot sue Apple, its affiliates, ..., as a result of its decision to remove or refuse to process any information or Content, to warn you, to suspend or terminate your access to the Service, or to take any other action during the investigation of a suspected violation or as a result of Apple's conclusion that a violation of this Agreement has occured."

2. "... indemnify and hold harmless Apple from and against any and all claims and demands arising from usage of your Account, whether or not such usage is expressly authorized by you."

Mind that this is my opinion, I'm not a professional legal practitioner nor am I acting as one:

First of all, number 1 makes it volatile for business purposes, legally speaking. There's no guarantee that your transactions or important time of negotiation wouldn't be interrupted by Apple at its sole discretion. And then, if they were wrong, all of those losses would be deemed to have been indemnified, by you. 

Number 2 makes it so that if your account got cracked by the malice of Apple's personnel, due to the company's negligence or encouragement, you don't get to claim compensation from Apple

Those are just in a hindsight, from the top of my head... these 2 clauses are so problematic, the fact that they are there at the first place, I'm concerned that it is deeper than just those problems. 

Gojek ToC and PP v.02

I'm reading Gojek ToC and PP right now, and they are so good. I'm sorry that I haven't read it before the update time... really, and I know I'm supposed to write this after I read them all but up until now they are just conclusively so worth talking about it would make it more difficult for myself if I were not to write this now. 

Gojek ToC and PP:

https://www.gojek.com/en/terms-of-service/, as of the 30'th of July 2020
https://www.gojek.com/privacy-policy/, as of the 30'th of July 2020

Are legit, hands down... although I wish people could make these things much shorter and simpler and still hit the points but that's a worldwide problem. Gojek didn't escape that problem but their stuff is authentic, and just as good if not better in some paragraphs and wordings compared to popular, common ToC and PPs. 

Most ToCs and PPs utilize commonly used formats and sentences they looked similar with each other. That's for a good reason, we want some degree of standardization to make it easier to read/(skip). But those also would make legal documents more dangerous, in a way that they nudge readers to overlook some of the custom points unique to their services. Realistically, different sites/services should have their own unique exposures, as much similar their ToCs and PPs might look from another.

I'm all for not making everything different too much, please, it is hard enough to actually thoroughly read all of those legal documents, but if you made it like Gojek, that would be something else. 

Each problems addressed in the documents easily feels realistic, and there are a lot of points presented as such. By consistently being such straight-forward and informative throughout my reading, I got the sense that they have spent considerable resources to seriously take care of mine as much as theirs well-being, conditions, and interests. At the same time it feels like I'm living through the concerns addressed... and since there were lots of them it felt like studying a relevant skill or a relevant subject for an actual job. 

These are worth your time for their authenticity, the ToC and PP, each of them might be a slow read, not the easiest, but they don't give me that dismissible feeling as when I read other popular ToCs/PPs. 

------------------------------

no. 17 of the ToC contains a sentence that said:

"You shall not sue nor object the validity of this Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy which are made in the electronic form"

I think it should be changed to:

"You shall not sue nor object the validity of this Terms of Conditions and the Privacy Policy as electronic forms"

TOC PP club

TOC PP club is a place where website hosts, game providers, and users gather together and agreed upon certificates regarding terms of services and privacy policies. 

For example:

melki.site requires account creators to agree upon this TOC and PP, but if you are members of the TOCPP club, you only have to read number 1, 11, and 23. 

TOCPP also could issue certificates, for example, certificate type A is the type of privacy policy where providers doesn't share data to third parties, type B shares to limited and listed third parties, type C is when they share with any third parties that provided them such and such services at the time. Users that have passed and acquired the certificates could create accounts quicker by only agreeing to some points not covered by the certificates. 

TOCPP members then would have a special login button that could authenticate users with such certificates.  

GitLab terms has an amazing verse v.02

https://about.gitlab.com/terms/

In this page there are several terms and conditions, the verse that I'm talking about is in the GitHost.io section, number 7.

Usually a terms and conditions set is made only to protect the right of the service provider. But this particular verse made to protect the user.

It's wonderful to know that in the real world we protect ourselves by protecting the user. And that's the real purpose of terms and conditions and negotiations in general.

Well done!

1 set of terms and privacy for the dot.com

I think maybe it could be made so that the whole dot.com extension would have 1 set of terms like google, and if people wanted to imply their own terms, they should provide links to another address that's not .com like .net or .org.

Calling! Advices, Alliances, Prayers, Arrangements, Terms and Conditions!
