Crass Demands For Box-Ticking

[KARL]

On one machine I am using a newly installed operating system and browser. Having used google for decades I am now being asked, even though they say no changes have been made, to agree to some terms I can't be bothered reading before continuing to use google elsewhere without ever knowingly having agreed anything. Am I the only one who finds this inane in the extreme ?

Google is legally obliged to ensure that you're aware of what they're doing with your data and that you consent to it:

(Even so, there are suggestions in some quarters that Google isn't entirely playing by the rules: https://brave.com/google-gdpr-workaround/ )

Anything where you are told to read loads of stuff and try to analyse/interpret it in order to progress, is unreasonable. It's well known hardly anyone does, with good reason, so it ought not be legal to consider ticking a box as acceptance. In an ideal existence there should be a criteria about reasonable changes only or the tickbox doesn't count, and listing in plain language anything that may be controversial. Otherwise it's just legally allowing contract writers and verbose condition writers to manipulate most of the human race.
