minus-squaredaannii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·12 hours agoYou know, I do research and there are rules that the informed-consent documents have to be written at an 8th grade reading level. No jargon. No technical writing. Simple and clear. So that when people agree to be in a study, they actually do understand what that involves. Otherwise they can sue the hell out of you for misleading them. Why is this also not a requirement for “terms and service”? They intentionally write it in “legalise” so that the average person cannot understand it. I think it should have to follow the same rules as informed-consent documents.
