MODERATORS
My previous statement is outdated (see replies). I still think TLDRs are inherently wrong, but ToS;DR seems to have improved significantly.
~~The website is extremely opinionated IMO, which just goes to show how important it is to read the ToS and not a TLDR.~~
Would you mind sharing an example?
After trying to find some examples, I've determined that my previous statement is incorrect. It seems the site has expanded by a considerable amount, and the complaints I had (e.g. Tor was ranked something like C while Google was ranked B) no longer apply.
Regardless, I think having someone else summarize a legally binding contract is still a horrible idea in so many ways.
