Admit it: you don't really read the endless terms and conditions connected to every website you visit, phone call you make or app you download. But every day, billion-dollar corporations are learning more about your interests, your friends and family, your finances, and your secrets... and are not only selling the information to the highest bidder, but freely sharing it with the government.
With fascinating examples and so-unbelievable-they're-almost-funny facts, filmmaker Cullen Hoback exposes what governments and corporations are legally taking from you every day - and demonstrates how every one of us has incrementally opted-in to a real-time surveillance state, click by click.
“This quietly blistering documentary should rile even the most passive viewer.”
Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
“The scariest movie I’ve seen this year, a horror tale that would have been science fiction had it been made in the 1990s.”
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
“The term “opting in” suggests a matter of choice. But as the thoughtful and spirited documentary “Terms and Conditions May Apply” makes chillingly clear, choices are few for netizens.”
Sheri Linden, The Los Angeles Times
