Hi Prashant,

One important aspect of these reviews is that they are the result of
an open forum (this mailing list), where everybody can contribute
their opinion, and where we also try to incorporate information from
other sources. So they are not the opinion of one reviewer or
'expert', but it works like a wiki.

The main goal of publishing these reviews is that people can install
our browser plugin and have some information on their side when they
accept click "Yes, I accept these terms".

The second goal is to enable more discussion and awareness about how
unilateral such terms of service have become in practice, and
hopefully it will make the people who write them more aware that they
can try to write reasonable terms instead of ones that abuse their
position of power. There are two main causes for this unsymmetrical
power, which lies almost entirely by the provider of the service,
namely 1) people who want to use a service just want to get through
the registration process without doing too much work reading and
comparing terms of competing services, and 2) people who use internet
services often don't have enough expertise to form an opinion about
what is reasonable and what is not.

A third goal is to help other research projects and data journalists
to reuse the data we publish, this is especially relevant for the
tosback.org service which we maintain in cooperation with EFF and ISOC.

About future plans, this is an open community, so if you have a plan,
let us know what it is! What would you like to happen next? Do you
have some ideas you would like to develop, collaborate on, or
contribute to?


Cheers,
Michiel.
