[UPDATED] Vision: To Create awareness about the risk of being exploited by blindly accepting Terms and Conditions(T&Cs). And hence bring about a change in something users have been taking for granted since the inception of technology. To build a browser extension that
Hey! Your vision statement sounds great. Looks like we're working on similar projects. Would you like to connect and see where the overlap is?
Sounds like a great project. Wondering your project entails a set of outlined practices, or a special application, or platform, or a community you are building? The specific sense of what the project actually is (...what are you making?) is still unclear. But it definitely sounds like something needed!

@miazamoraphd We are building a browser extension that filters important clauses, given any T&C document, and displays only important ones. We're looking into the possibility of a summarizer too.
@shreevari We're working on a very similar project - have you any interest in discussing this?
Hi @tedarbyshire , I'm sorry, I overlooked your comment. I checked out your Vision statement and we're doing exactly the same thing! Our vision statement is just a little less specific, but our plans overlap to a great extent. We definitely want to collaborate with you!
Hi @shreevari Perhaps we can put a call in this week? Would be great to connect! Sounds like we have a good group of experts between us :)
@shreevari @madhurish Took a look at the open canvas. For your contributor profiles, would it be helpful to have experts in Natural Language Processing on the team? I've worked with some on projects that involve crawling media metadata and it seems that they have good tools (also open source resources) to crawl text and extract meaningful information.
@fraguada Thank you for your suggestion, we definitely need contributors with expertise in NLP. If you could point us to open source tools for text summarization, that'd be great. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated. Cheers!

this is such an important topic for end-user privacy across the Web and on mobile apps. Two projects you may draw inspiration from:

This such an important project. I am happy to see that you are working towards addressing this. I might have missed something but I didn't get how this will be rolled out on mobile. I come from a place(Kenya) where mobile lending apps are harvesting data indiscriminately and majority of the people don't even know what they are giving up in exchange of "free & quick" credit. So it might be a nice place to test this actually]

I had checked out tosdr but not Pribot/Polisis. The work they've done on it is amazing! Thanks @seandiggity for telling about these projects!
