The title of Terms and Conditions May Apply is unlikely to excite, but the content of this quietly blistering documentary should rile even the most passive viewer. . . . Investigating our casual surrender of
privacy rights every time we click the 'Agree' button on those dense
(and typically unread) online user contracts, the director Cullen Hoback
outlines the real-life dangers of digital heedlessness. As the film
illustrates, a random tweet or innocent Google search could summon a
SWAT team to your door or transform you into a suspected terrorist. . . . Actual horror stories aside, this concise
and lively summary of the many ways corporations, law enforcement and
government agencies gather, share and use our information—assisted by
digital giants like AT&T and Google—is creepily unnerving.
