It's been said: "Big print giveth but small print taketh away". I guess we can now add: "Small print also sticketh its nose into your business" according to this article about a Canadian Bank using small print to get clients' agreement to monitor their on-line browsing activities.
In subsequent television reports this morning the bank of course said that they only meant activities relating to bank issues. However, that's not what the words say and, after being 'outed' and agreeing to remove the words, they are not in a big hurry to do so.
Too many people these days don't take the time to read the documents they agree to with a click of a mouse. It would appear some businesses might look at the lax attitude as an opportunity.
