have you guys came across some weird or interesting privacy agreements on either apps, or social media, websites and etc. ??

I have noticed that a lot of people don't even read terms and agreements, and mostly the privacy agreements

It isn't a bad idea to read them even If it will take a while. What the agreement says could end up being the difference between whether or not you can sue if they do something you don't like.

I limit how many websites I subscribe to and so far I haven't dealt with anything outrageous.
