"Alternet.org reports recent updates to terms of conditions for Bank of Americas cell phone app and Capital Ones new credit card contract have given banks unsettling new abilities. These privileges include the authority to access to your phone microphone and camera or even showing up at your workplace and home unannounced at any time.
From the the article:
We're witnessing a new era of fascism, where corporations are creating intrusive and over-bearing terms and conditions that customers click to agree to without even reading.
As a result, corporations in America have acquired king-like power, while we're the poor serfs that must abide by their every rule or else."

After years and years of reading Hack a Day every day, I had to leave them when they posted an abusive TOS [hackaday.com] at the behest of their (new) corporate masters. I know nothing good would come of the founder selling-out to Supply Frame. An article [hackaday.com] on the new terms got 5 times as many comments as most articles on the site.
Oh, and Fuck Beta!
