[liberationtech] Two new tech-for-good companies

[Yosem Companys]

That sucks. I did not read the fineprint. This is a problem, and I suspect
that part of the reason is because startups have scant legal resources and even
when they have access to these resources the industry standard is likely
non-privacy-friendly. And to take this even further, how many of us still use
Google for convenience sake despite our being philosophically against tracking?
I am ashamed to admit that I certainly do.

Very cool tech ideas (especially ioby).   To my disappointment, I noticed that
the posted legal terms and policies are the same old, one-sided to favor company
‘dump all risk on user’ terms we see littering tech.  Has there been any
progress on developing contract terms and policies that actually match and
reflect the mission of the company?   Anyone know of any projects or efforts
underway on this front?
Thanks!Renée Lloyd
