    ToS;DR (Terms of Service; Didn’t Read). It gives pages a rating based on their terms of service. It also provides you with a plain-english breakdown of the terms of a site/service.

      it’s a pretty controversial opinion that’s practically impossible to regulate but I think purposefully making TOS/Legal stuff harder to read solely to get away with stuff that the user would disagree with should be illegal

        Imo, ToS;DR isn’t, and shouldn’t be, a replacement for a proper legal document. A proper legal document will contain all of the necessary definitions for clarity, and will word things accurately to cover all possible loopholes. ToS;DR simply provides a sort of point-form summary of the main rules and points that a person should be aware of in a very basic and quick-to-digest manner.
