Yhey know you don’t read them: they make them so you don’t read them. You’re not supposed to read them. And what will you do anyway? Not use a computer? If this was a civilized country, it would be illegal.
I started to read the terms once. I stopped reading them when i got to the clause where I gave up all rights to my firstborn child in return for using their service. Joke’s on them. I never had any children.
My favorite part of the Apple software agreement is this clause, which has been virtually intact for 20 years:
You may not use or otherwise export or re-export the Licensed Application except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Licensed Application was obtained. In particular, but without limitation, the Licensed Application may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S.-embargoed countries or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals List or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List or Entity List. By using the Licensed Application, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You also agree that you will not use these products for any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, the development, design, manufacture, or production of nuclear, missile, or chemical or biological weapons.

Whether we like it or no, all of us have to implicitly pledge an fealty to the monetary system…. just to try and get 4 square meals a day.

Seeing Musk’s name so frequently puts him in a class with the Kardashians. Always in the headlines to no purpose anyone can think of.

It could have been Worse.
#SoreLoserMan was too cheap to pay SIRI the Fee to have His Loyalty Pledges included in the EULA.
