while I like others clicked to accept, because otherwise you can't use the app, it is worth remembering that these broad contracts of adhesion are what enabled Disney to try to use the acceptance of ostensibly unrelated Disney+ terms and conditions to try to wriggle out of a wrongful death lawsuit relating to one of its parks, and Uber to try to use the fact that someone had once clicked accept on Uber Eats T&Cs to get the courts to block a lawsuit for a different family member hurt in a crash when they were an Uber passenger. Just when you think some of these companies couldn't get any scummier, I can assure you that they can, and it's all baked right there in take it or leave it T&Cs like these.

Just tried to open my Ford pass and I can't unless I Accept the new terms. If I don't accept, I can't open my Ford pass.
Has anyone read all the pages and see what rights we are giving up by signing off on this.
This is just the first screen shot. It's 23 different sections of multiple pages of legal Mumbo Jumbo

You have no rights. This has come up before. How we continue to let companies get away with the miles of legal jargon. There is the alternative, we don't have to use it, but just because we do it's insane what we give up. Yes - I worry about TikTok, but simply because it is a foreign entity. Our US companies are just as bad, the take down will just happen from within our own borders.

I've driven to moon and back in my 47 years of driving and never had an app to deal with. I didn't accept the terms and conditions, removed the fuse for the TCU and turned off WiFi, screw Ford and their data collection.
