“You’re kidding me… That’s in my EULA??” and similar random podcasts

That’s in my End User License Agreement?? Yes, you really did agree to give an app full access to your phone when you clicked that “Accept” button. Companies know you’re not going to read it. That’s why they make it so long and bury the devil in the details. That’s where we come in. Yes, Joel’s a lawyer. Yep, a real lawyer. We believe you should know what you’ve agreed to without having to spend 2 hours reading that End User License Agreement (EULA) and all of its attachments. We’ll do that for you and just explain the ‘good’ parts. Each week, we tear apart a EULA, or a category of EULAs, from one of the most popular apps in the marketplace. We’ll explain what the most egregious terms are, where those terms appear in the agreement, and warn you of what kind of access you’ve given over just to be able to play that little game on your phone. We’ll look at the agreement in terms of camera access, contact lists, photos, private messages, privacy policies… anything you’ve got stored on your phone and tell you, “Hey, that social media app now has access to your private messages. Did you really mean to do that?” Subscribe to “That’s in my EULA??” on your favorite podcasting platform before you press that next “Accept” button.
