The article also states:<p><i>&quot;Tech giants, like Google and Microsoft have contracts that are significantly more wordy and hard to understand.&quot;</i><p>and<p><i>&quot;unlike Amazon, AirBnb, Adobe, Buzzfeed, Microsoft, Instagram, Slack, Tinder and WeChat, Apple does not include a consumer-hostile “binding arbitration” clause, which would block their customers from ever taking them to court.&quot;</i><p>So, it seems that, as large companies go, they aren&#x27;t the worst.

In Germany, the typical click-through contract you only get to see after you have purchased the product, or that is for software required to operate hardware that you have already purchased, is invalid.<p>So I happily click.
