[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3060621, member: 13624"] You don't know what you're babbling about. Using data from January 2016 (Netcraft charges for more recent data), GoDaddy is far and away the biggest hosting provider by active domain names hosted, and Amazon is the biggest by IP addresses hosted (via their S3 service). Source: [URL]https://www.netcraft.com/internet-data-mining/hosting-analysis/[/URL] . Google isn't even in the top five for either. Moreover, Google is primarily a search engine; they have a hosting service, but are a bit player in that market. If you don't like their hosting terms, there are alternatives (again, I recommend Rackspace, but there are any number of others). As to search engines, it's the user's choice what search engine to use; Bing, Yahoo, and several others are out there. If you don't like Google, use something else. Yes, Google may be your browser's default (I think IE defaults to Bing), but it's not that hard to change, even for the laziest of people. As for standard-form contracts, they're not illegal or even morally wrong. Unconscionability [I]can[/I] arise, depending upon the circumstances, but it requires [I]both[/I] substantive unconscionability (the terms are patently unfair) and procedural unconscionability (agreement/assent was procured in an unfair manner) to get there. Who held the gun to your head to make you agree to Google/YouTube's terms of service? What? You did it of your own free will? Yeah, procedural is out, so get over it. Next time, do a little research, and try [I]thinking[/I] instead of [I]feeling[/I]. We don't need more of the Nanny State to protect your poor little [I]feelings[/I]. [/QUOTE]
