DESCRIPTION
Hugo ROY Terms of service and privacy policies govern our rights online. Unfortunately, they are often overlooked: most users of online services will “agree to the terms and conditions” without reading them. In this talk, we will see the reasons why terms of service are currently broken and how they can subjugate users into giving up their rights, with a proposal to fix this problem.

“You and Netflix agree that any dispute, claim orcontroversy arising out of or relating in any way to theNetflix service, including our website, user interfaces,these Terms of Use and this Arbitration Agreement, shallbe determined by binding arbitration instead of in courtsof general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal thana lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitratorinstead of a judge or jury, allows for more limiteddiscovery than in court, and is subject to very limitedreview by courts. Arbitrators can award the samedamages and relief that a court can award. You agreethat, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. FederalArbitration Act governs the interpretation andenforcement of this provision, and that you and Netflixare each waiving the right to a trial by jury or toparticipate in a class action. This arbitration provisionshall survive termination of this Agreement and thetermination of your Netflix membership. YOU ANDNETFLIX AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMSAGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITSINDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFFOR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASSOR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.”
