Absolutely mind blown today. Found a website that summarizes terms of service for lots of services out there such as Facebook, Reddit, Amazon and others; ranking them from grade A, very good, to grade E, awful. Take a look and you might be shocked by some of the stuff we all miss because we don't read TOS. Needless to say, this is going in my important sites list. https://tosdr.org. Additionally, you can follow @ToSDR which is the official account for the site.

#Stract is a new, #opensource, #nonprofit #search engine. It has a lot of interesting functions. For example, users can exclude known copycat sites from search queries, focus on indie blogs, or do fediverse search only.

You can test Stract over here:
https://stract.com

And check out the repo on #GitHub:
