What is the dpf?

In character at this point.

I don’t know if it has any legal value, but here’s what I’ve been doing with online services that really matter (not Reddit, I don’t give a shit about Reddit, but things like my bank):

I read the TOS - which, in the case of actual serious online services, tends to be shorter - and I make a note of anything I don’t like in it. Then I click agree, then I send an email to info@, support@, legal@, webmaster@ and whatever other vaguely relevant email I can find in the TOS’ issuer’s domain telling them this:

"I clicked okay because I needed to do XYZ and there was no button to discuss your terms or disagree. But I disagree with the following points. Here are my counter-conditions:

[…]

If you disagree with my conditions, please send me or my lawyer - who is copied on this email - your counter-proposal within 1 (one) week. If you do not sent me or my lawyer an email within 1 (one) week, I shall consider my conditions accepted, legally binding and superseding the relevant sections of your original TOS."

And I copy my lawyer.

I’ve never gotten any reply, because no actual human reads those email addresses. If anything comes up, I’ll pull the counter-email I sent them with my conditions, which they agreed to by not answering. I’ve never had to use them, but I really wish I’ll get the opportunity to test them in court some day, just for shits and giggles.

And yes, I have enough disposable to pay a lawyer to do this kind of shit. I’m a spiteful man when it comes to tech companies, and I’m quite ready to bankrupt myself to fuck them in the ass.

Unfortunately, that strategy will never hold up in any court, but if it makes you feel better about the process, go for it.
