"The current state of terms and conditions for digital services is bordering on the absurd. Their scope, length and complexity mean it is virtually impossible to make good and informed decisions"

...thus effectively serving the interests of the service provider. As much as I'd love to see this situation change, I have a hard time imagining it happening any time soon unless one or more of the following occurs:

* consumers collectively stop using such services (unlikely)

* service providers collectively decide to change this (unlikely)

* heavy-handed government regulation (undesirable)

Hopefully I'm wrong! :)
