I heard there was such a fantastic whimsical thing called "false advertising, punishable by law", but apparently as long as companies keep a bundle of inscrutable legalese shoved up their asses and fart it at you AFTER you press the button clearly labeled "BUY", it mysteriously ceases to exist.

Funny that customers can't spring documents at companies to demand stuff and treat continuation of the transaction as implicit agreement. Then, suddenly it's unfair and ridiculous.

That is a unicorn, my friend. In reality we have the EULA, "Terms and Conditions", 'Community Guidelines" and you name it! All basically are contracts in which you renounce you rights and happily agree to pay for shit on their terms!
