Who really does read the terms and conditions before clicking the "agree" button?? I have to be honest with you and admit that I have never read anything...
The funny thing is that I was raised being told by my parents to always be careful what I sign. And I do. I always read the whole thing before I put my signature on contracts and stuff. But since the "agree" button is not a signature -or at least it doesn't seem to be- I never, ever considered reading the endless terms and conditions... When in fact that "agree" button is even worse.
In social media we voluntarily give a ton of personal information that we choose to share with "our friends" but in reality we share those with everyone who needs to have access to them. And not only in social media but by using the net in general. Scary or not that's the reality nowadays.
The problem is those terms and conditions that we tend to neglect... What if we agree to give our left foot, our kidney or our family and friends when they need them? I know it sounds freaking surreal but don't we have to spend some time to actually see on what we agree to? All those personal data we input ourselves, are they safe? Is there a privacy policy that actually protects us?
Next time we should all take a more precise look at those before clicking the "agree" button... Cause who knows what may happen otherwise...
