Clicked on a link to read an article, and was met with this pop-up. I decided to click on the privacy policy link to view what I was agreeing to. It cannot be viewed unless you agree to what you haven't read yet.

Are you really going to read 600 pages of legalese anyways? It should be mandatory for companies to summarize their privacy policy in like 300 words of plain English (or native language) or less. If their policy is too complex to be summarized to meet the requirements then the CEO should be tarred and feathered on live TV.
To answer your question, no, I had no intention of reading the whole thing. I just wanted to see some of the ridiculous things that make it in there these days.
Also, I completely agree with you.
