YSK ToS;DR Exists

Terms of Service; Didn't Read (ToS;DR) is a project started in June 2012 to help fix the “biggest lie on the web”: it summarizes the terms of service almost no one reads.

ToS;DR aims to foster a transparent and peer-reviewed process to rate and analyse terms of service and privacy policies. The goal is to generate a rating for the terms or policies from Class A to Class E, similar to a grade on a school assignment.
Various Terms of Service are reviewed by ToS;DR contributors and divided into small points that can be discussed and compared. Ultimately, a score between 1 and 10 is assigned to each individual point. Source: https://edit.tosdr.org/about

Nice to see some companies i trust to have an A score. Bookmarked it, will definitely use it when I'm about to renew something. Might even browse the entire list to see if there are some negative surprises as well.
