Senator Kennedy of Louisiana confronted Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the transparency of the social media company's policies on Tuesday.
[...]
"I'm going to suggest you go home and rewrite it, and tell your $1,200 dollar and[sic] hour lawyer...you want it written in English not Swahili, so the average American user can understand," Kennedy said.

TAPPING? You POLITICIANS! Don't you realize that the END of the "Wash

What a concept... I realize no one is forced to use Facebook, but EULA, laws, insurance policies etc. are purposefully written in legalese to make them undecipherable to the common user. As a former cop I was forced to wade thru the penal code which is 800+ pages of legalese, which can be summarized in less than 150 pages. I am sure the Facebook EULA can be summarized as "All your bases are belong to us". The Senator should take the advice to heart and do the same with the laws they sponsor and then have lawyers and interns encode/decipher for them.
