    They’ll get around this by painting a EULA on the windows: “By approaching close enough to read this you give us the right to do whatever we want with whatever data we can collect.”

      Just because you “agree” to a EULA doesn’t necessarily mean its legally defensible. Its an avenue that a company can point to and say “look, we did our due diligence”, but if effective safeguards are in place a good judge can throw it out the window.

      There is a lot of laws around what a contract can do. you cannot have a contract for murder for example. EULA are the lowest form as the other party doesn’t have a choice, particularly if the terms change after the sale. contact a lawyer for the current state, but last I checked they were not well tested, and gnerally considered breakable in court.
