You can’t agree to it until you visit the website and actually read it. Your logic doesn’t really follow

Edit: for those downvoting here’s an article from the EFF agreeing with me. https://www.eff.org/wp/clicks-bind-ways-users-agree-online-terms-service

However, courts generally do not require that you actually have read the terms, but just that you had reasonable notice and an opportunity to read them.

Nope. Not how it works. You don't have to agree to anything. You don't have to read anything. The provider has to inform you, which they do even if you block it.

Edit: here’s the EFF agreeing with me. If you don’t read any of the below then you should still read this. https://www.eff.org/wp/clicks-bind-ways-users-agree-online-terms-service

That’s literally absolutely unequivocally incorrect. I have no clue why you think that but even a cursory glance at Wikipedia would have shown you you’re incorrect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_service

If you want more information you can go ahead and read up on GDPR or one of the numerous other laws around the world stating exactly the opposite of what you’re saying.

Here’s some links for you.

And if you had actually watched the Louis Rossman video someone linked below, he literally discusses these things.

I’m sorry but you’re just completely wrong.

I don't believe you're correct about this. Corporations love your take here, though. They absolutely have entire teams of lawyers that push this narrative as best they can.

The law still allows me to control what appears on my device
