Terms of service dictate Americans ’ speech rights, privacy rights, and even Fourth Amendment rights.
This makes terms of service something like public law for the internet, says Lawfare Institute's John Sutter .
Sutter: We face a choice: We can retreat from our contractarian internet policy and impose limits on contract ex ante.
The social impact of today ’s digital terms of service is felt in the aggregate.
