realized writes “The Obamacare website Healthcare.gov has a hidden terms of service that is not shown to people when they sign up. The hidden terms, only viewable if you ‘view source’ on the site says that the user has ‘no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communication or data transiting or stored on this information system.’ Sadly, the $634 million dollar website still does not work for most people so its hard to confirm – though when its fixed in 2 months, we should finally be able to see it.” Note: As the article points out, that phrasing is “not visible to users and obviously not intended as part of the terms and conditions.” So users shouldn’t worry that that they’ve actually, accidentally agreed to any terms more onerous than the ones they can read on the signup page, but it’s an interesting inclusion.
