Ask HN: Why am I getting so many ToS update emails?

  • There’s usually some variant of ”You have two weeks to react”, and it’s a good bet most people won’t be reacting to emails too fast around christmas holidays

  • I got many, too. Some of those came from Polish services, so I'm guessing it's both changes to the law but also a "new year, new ideas" type of changes. We like to start anew.

  • It's a slow time for most non-retail businesses, and also a good time to sneak in user-hostile changes while users are busy with the holidays.

  • Happens to me at the end of every year

  • And, do I have agency to guarantee that they are fair to me?

  • phishing?

  • I hope some day we can use chatGPT to give us the tl;dr of TOS changes.
