this assessment is reasonable, but not productive.

- Read your terms of service, contractual responsibility and liability for all services. as a leader, youre authoritative and liable for shareholder and corporate risk.

- What you do after the fact is just as important --if not more-- than what you didnt do before. Channel this outrage into action, identify the problem, and countermeasure it to ensure future success.

- Risk is an isotope, do not concentrate it all into one single provider/platform/service or its criticality will prove a detriment to your business. You can mitigate it, accept it, or delegate it, but it cannot be ignored.

- if the product is for free, its likely the roles are reversed. re-evaluate your needs and understand whether youre a consumer, or a product and if this shift in roles aligns appropriately with risk and compliance in your industry. Do not assume the coffee is free.

It is impossible to read all the the terms of services, especially including all the updates, to all of the services an average person uses. There simply is way, way too much text and vague legalese to read and understand.

This is incidentally true of (by)laws too, and it's part of the why behind the familiar adage that it's better to ask forgiveness than permission.
