If governments aren&#x27;t going to ban or replace these &quot;agreements&quot; with standardised terms and conditions, then they should mandate that the app or website has to check that the user has read the entire text before they can continue.<p>Suitable methods would be requiring the user to read the whole document out loud (checked by a locally running AI), or to click on the first word in each sentence (starting over from the beginning if they miss one), and&#x2F;or to pass a multiple choice test at the end (with the set of possible answers A&#x2F;B tested to ensure that they can&#x27;t be guessed better than random chance).
