> Yeah I also bought a lifetime plan from that cloud storage company few years ago, scammed by the marketing page, only to find out somewhere in the settings page that my data were never in switzerland or even in EU but were physically in US
Anyone want to name names?
But whether or not you need encryption, is that ok to advertise something that you don't have?
Also. Yes. The Android app is very bad compared to e.g. drive/photos
My actual point, was why in the world would you not post the name of the company in the original post? What thought processes occurred that suggested you shouldn't provide the name in the first place?
I think it’s time we stop doling out this advice and acknowledge that it’s entirely unrealistic. I’m a lawyer. I read the fine print a lot. Sometimes just for fun. But even I don’t “always” read it. Usually I don’t even read it so much as I give it a skim. If I read the fine print each and every time I came across it during the day I would literally do nothing else. Not even sleep.
And that’s to say nothing of the average person’s hope of actually understanding what the fine print even means!
But even for someone very well-suited (a retired lawyer, for example, with all the time in the world) the suggestion to always read the fine print is absurd.
These are contracts of adhesion. As consumers we usually don’t have any leverage to change the terms or even much of a choice to take our business elsewhere. It makes far more sense to regulate consumer contracts and force businesses not to screw people over than it does to ask millions of people to waste hours of their lives reading pages and pages of legalese they don’t understand and couldn’t change even if they did.
