Section 1
The big idea
That 30-page Terms of Service you click 'agree' on? It probably gives away your data, locks you into arbitration, and lets the company use your stuff. AI can summarize the scary parts fast.
Some examples
- Paste TikTok's TOS and ask: 'What rights am I giving up?'
- Get a list of red flags in any app's privacy policy.
- Ask AI: 'Can they cancel my account with no warning?'
- Find arbitration clauses (no right to sue).
Try it!
Pick an app you use daily. Paste its TOS or privacy policy into an AI and ask for the top 5 red flags.
