EFF Announced New Service to Let You Know When Terms-of-Serivce of Popular Sites Change

By CircleID Reporter

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has launched a new site to keep track of ‘Terms of Service’ for major websites such as Google, Facebook, eBay and others. The new website called TOSBack has been created to help users easily find privacy policies of various websites and to alert them when those policies are changed.

“Some changes to terms of service are good for consumers, and some are bad,” says EFF Senior Staff Attorney Fred von Lohmann. “But Internet users are increasingly trusting websites with everything from their photos to their ‘friends lists’ to their calendar—and sometimes even their medical information. TOSBack will help consumers flag changes in the websites they use every day and trust with their personal information.”
