When signing up for something online, often the application, or site contains a Terms And Conditions, which must be agreed to before accessing the content.
But how often do you really read through the whole terms and conditions?
For all you know, the contract you’re agreeing to could contain the most ridiculous of terms, such as Gamestation’s April Fools joke, where they hid in their terms of service that anyone who signs up owes “Us a non-transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul.”
Most of these terms and conditions contain clauses stating that by agreeing to, you agree to have an online profile of everything you do online, which is then sold to various companies, which market specifically to you.
Often, these agreements remove all privacy you once believed you had, allowing you to be manipulated and controlled, due to the constant fear of being watched. Your privacy is being exploited by the government, large corporations and anyone who can access your devices freely.

I have never once in my entire life read the terms and conditions when signing up for something, but I’m starting to learn that maybe I should at least browse them.

Technology has allowed governments around the world to collect data about our lives, all so they can spy on us. You shouldn’t have to worry about tracking, spying or even tracking your own behavior online if you don’t agree!
But what’s really disturbing is the increasing reliance on the NSA for tracking your activities online. After all, without the ability to get around the content blocking capabilities in your browser, this is precisely why the NSA needs a way to track all our online activity. If you’ve ever noticed that your activity on the web is tracked without you even knowing? Well, it’s because this NSA’s programs are so pervasive and intrusiveโฆ

But it’s not just the NSA – Google, Facebook and more do this every time you access something that’s connected to their products and then sells your info to the highest bidders.
