Their heroku setup is having a moment. But if this is about the game I've been playing with my rude ass car that started nagging me about Kia's t&c update, weeks after i first got it, every time i start the engine...

I'm not sure if I'm winning and I'm not sure if the game is fun anymore. at least the car and I have been playing a single game of me declining the t&c and please ask me again later for some three years and a few months now. So the replay value is high.

Also sometimes my wife pretends to go for the "accept" button and it makes me all hot and bothered

This game seems to be all the rage right now. I've seen clones of it everywhere.
Etheryte•1h ago
If you're in Europe, then most new cars do that right now. There was an EU-wide court case some time ago whether tracking consent can be one-and-done in a car or not because different people can be driving a car at different times, if memory serves well. Rather than simply drop the tracking, the car manufacturers decided to just nag you every time. This is now the first thing on my list when looking for a new car, if they do stuff like that I'm not buying.

My Toyota also got that game in a DLC about a year after I bought it

Mozilla did an expose a while back on what's hidden in those terms, IIRC. Things like "we want to know do you use the heated seats" (okay... useful free market research maybe) but also "we store personality profiles including your sexual preferences"

Somewhere I hope a PM is deliberating the intricacies of automotive teledildonics. I hope.

Broken for me, but going off of the headline, I have been playing the same game with Apple Health. Refuse to accept what probably gives them some wiggle room to monetize my health information. Which also means that I cannot setup a wake up alarm, only generic alarms.
arkadiyt•1h ago
Apple Health data is end-to-end encrypted, even without using ADP. They don't have access to it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651
0cf8612b2e1e•1h ago
That is cute, but if big tech goes out of its way to get specific permissions to do something, I am going to assume it is not in my best interests.

Sure, Apple is less bad than many others, but that does not mean they are trustworthy.

Just wanted to say thank you. It prompted a review of our own T&Cs.
topkai22•1h ago
For mandatory T&Cs I'll put in the signature box "Decline", including updating the HTML page to say "decline" instead of "OK" and screenshotting it or modifying the HTTP response sent back to include riders.

I know it probably won't matter, but it's kind of fun for me.

No chance that would hold up in court. Clickwraps have been tested in courts and are fully enforceable.
wat10000•35m ago
And keep in mind that (at least in the US) the opposite of "I accept the terms and conditions" is not "I get to do whatever I want," it's "I am accessing this service without authorization, which is a crime under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act."

If I'm on the jury, I'll make sure he walks.

The only valid agreements require the party seeking the agreement to make efforts in that pursuit. Did a human view the signed agreement afterward? Do they store that signed agreement in such a way as to be able to retrieve it if they need to contest the terms later?

Then no agreement was made.

And as for the CFAA provisions, if they put those resources on the public internet, then the public has the right to interact with them. You can't fence off the sidewalk and claim that someone trespasses when they walk on it.

moritzwarhier•1m ago
I envy the rigor and time investment, but I'm inclined to agree: there are unenforceable contracts, but I'm not aware of any case were denying t&c's while using a service deliberately were successfully defended as compatible?

I'm not a lawyer though, I'm not even that well-informed about everyday law stuff for laymen.
