Unbelievable! No one is going to devote hours to reading the Amazon Echo notices and contracts! Utterly ridiculous!
This is what you agree to when you buy+use an Amazon Echo:
17 contracts, 94 pages, estimated reading time: some hours. One of the contracts says you should check it "frequently to see recent changes" #iotcontractdisaster

I agree! There should be an easier way to read contracts. How about just using if then else statements. For example, if you give us your email address, then we will share it with our partners who will send marketing emails to you. 🤔

Good suggestion; also, I'd like the first line of every contract to simply say "we will not share your information with anyone at any time, without your express permission", & go from there. And, so many other issues, such as, once data is shared, who controls that 3rd party.

Good point! That’s why in a way I tried to incorporate that into the Hippocratic oath for technology professionals. Perhaps orgs should indicate that they abide by this #TechOath and maybe there should be some repercussions if they don’t. Here it is bit.ly/2OsHgHf

I like the oath, but unfortunate ad placement...
