    I was just quoting the Hitchhiker’s Guide.

    Sure, you can technically opt out, but Displate is counting on users glossing over the possibility until they have a reason to want to opt out at which point it will be too late (i.e. they want to sue or take them to small claims court or whatever).

      First, keep doing that.

      Of course they are, but there are options (not quite hidden) for users to combat this by opting out. The vast majority of people won’t read it, and won’t opt out.

      I really would like laws that prevent this type of language though. That’s about the extent of my knowledge on the subject. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
