Terms of Service; Didn’t Read Needs Your Help

Two months ago I wrote an article about a great web service called Terms of Service; Didn’t Read. I just found out they’re nearing the end of a fundraising drive at Indiegogo.

As of today they are six days away from the end of the drive and still need to raise 1500 Euros to meet their goal.

Now I don’t make a habit of asking you guys to give me money, but I would like to ask you to consider giving them a donation and helping them meet their goal.

ToS:DR is a service that I believe the we really, really need. Companies bank on us not reading the Terms of Service in order to get away with doing pretty much anything we want, and it’s a pretty smart strategy: even if we were to read everything, the way those things are written makes it pretty hard to untangle the specific claims and privileges they are claiming and that you are agreeing to.

You can contribute via PayPal, American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover, and it will help fund something that will benefit everyone who has ever had to click “I agree” before getting to the next page.
