Isn't it misleading to put content on screen and then terms of service? Shouldn't it be an ultimatum and answering this question first?
So rather than allowing functionality shouldn't it be an ultimatum?
Instead of assuming you're ok with it by continuing to surf the content (or leaving terms and service on screen) and knowing users "nevermind" the Ts % Cs...
Like my point is it doesn't fulfil things (or am I wrong) and since T&C's are not actually needed to operate fictionally (even though legally it might be) then caring doesn't matter much?

@freeschool that is called "a legal offer". Not a normal human offer, it is a special lawer's word.
"Legal offer" is always not fair. It says "if you use it - you pay for it". Pay by giving your personal data too.
The fact of usage is enough, so you don't have to sign anything or in other way show that you accept the rules.

@freeschool there is lawer's world and real world. They don't match and have not so much in common.
The company who writes the Terms of Service is not going to comply to them. And it does not expect users to comply.
You will be banned if the company wants it and will not if the company desires so. You data will be sold regardless of the Terms of Service.
And there is no way for you to check if the Terms are followed. You also can't sue the company legally.
The terms even don't have to be written according the law because:
- Sites in internet are international (not for long probably) and can't follow all laws in all countries
- There is always a point in Rules that says "If anything in the document is against the law, it has no effect, but all the rest has effect regardless"

@canwolf
"Legal offer" sounds right... like an optional 'throw yourself in the fire' type deal.
But are you saying that by continuing to use the site it is accepting?
And if so shouldn't it be more clear for those who ignoring that they are not accepting... and *actually* don't accept or don't care because they didn't read?!
