Abstract

Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) are frequently unread as a consequence of their complexity and length. Readability formulas are used to objectively measure this complexity, but ironically their outputs are also unreadable to many. This motivated the development of a chrome extension called Literatin that compares the complexity of popular fictional literature to T&Cs in order sensitise people to their complexity. In this paper we discuss whether this has been achieved, and outline plans to further develop the extension.
文字化:在条款和条件的可读性之外的意识
条款和条件(T&Cs)由于其复杂性和长度而经常未读。可读性公式用于客观地衡量这种复杂性,但具有讽刺意味的是,它们的输出对许多人来说也是不可读的。这激发了一个名为Literatin的chrome扩展的开发,该扩展将流行虚构文学的复杂性与t&c进行比较,以使人们对其复杂性敏感。在本文中,我们讨论了这是否已经实现,并概述了进一步发展扩展的计划。
