We need protections limiting the length and level of effect of clickwrap agreements.
For now, I will continue using "inspect element" to change the text "agree" to "disagree", and completely skip proprietary phone apps.
You change the text? That's only on the user side, right?
I can't imagine that the terms are sent back to the server, only the clicked_agree=True
It is. It’s pointless.
Yes. As far as I've seen, it never changes what gets sent to the server, which is why I'm able to get away with it.
