Terms and Conditions May Apply (2013)
Have you ever read the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies connected to every website you visit, phone call you make, or app you use? Of course you haven’t. But those agreements allow corporations to do things with your personal information you could never even imagine. This film explores the intent hidden within these ridiculous agreements, and reveals what corporations and governments are legally taking from you and the outrageous consequences that result from clicking “I accept.”

Excellent but underrated film
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I think that we should be entitled to privacy and are entitled to have our rights without having fear for what we post on the internet. In fact most of the data that we type in on the internet can be constantly be misused, and that our right to freedom is in jeopardy. There should be some new laws to protect citizens of not being reprimanded of what they post on the internet. This is a well-crafted documentary that raises awareness of what is really going on when you click the "I Agree" options of the 'Terms and Conditions' of various websites.
This spirited documentary weaves through popular television and movie clips, privacy experts and interviews with those who've shared too much on the Internet and, consequently, landed on the wrong side of the law. No one gets off scott-free, especially not Mark Zuckerberg whom Hoback confronts in a darkly comedic conversation at the film's climax. Hoback told AFP: "I just wanted him to say, 'Look, I don't want you to record me,' and I wanted to say, 'Look, I don't want you to record us.'"
No wonder Netflix was promoting this documentary so hard. My girlfriend watched it first and quickly recommended it to me. It truly is one of the best documentaries I've ever watched, and in my Top 5!I'll be re-watching it again next week, so hopefully I can add a bit more to the review once I re-watch it.Firstly - The graphics, animations and typography used were wonderful, it really complimented the well thought out and structured film. It gave an easy to view look at how the world is changing, and how these big companies/government agencies are a real threat to our privacy. The ONE thing missing from this Documentary, was how we (the people) can fight back against this kind of privacy violations, but then again.. can we fight back at all?
I simply love this film!I saw it last night at the Aruba International Film Festival. I'm Leo's friend (short guy) that told you to go to "Jimmies Bar" ha-ha. But holy crap! This movie was really interesting! I find you have balls for actually visiting the Facebook creator, Mark Zuckerberg at his own house. There's nobody crazy enough that would do that type of thing. It's still scary to know that the government takes our private information as it were nothing. I mean we all have our rights, right? So why not stand up!? We should all stand up for ourselves. Keep up the good work, bro(& crew).Cheers!-Amin Croes
