@StaticR@guild.pmdcollab.org @leeloo@chaosfem.tw @lianna@micro.webgarden.click 95% of these companies exist because some autistic nerds felt the *exact same way* about something a few decades ago. so they built something from scratch.
it’s “fair” because you don’t have time to reinvent the wheel like they did, and they don’t think you should get rights to tinker with their wheel as if you did. it would make them easier to topple over, using their own creation against them.

@jazaval@mastodon.social @leeloo@chaosfem.tw @lianna@micro.webgarden.click I feel like terms and conditions that are designed not just to ensure the bare minimum needed for a transaction or service between the client and the provider to take place but to expand beyond that to ensure the continued dominance of the provider over the client (and possibly limit the emergance of competitors) are a good or fair thing. I mean antitrust is a thing and we have that exactly to prevent exactly that sort of deal.
