This is a good point, but it should not go made without mentioning the fact that we need some standards around TOS/privacy policies. Just like for OSS we have licenses that are "known", we have the GPL (v1,2,3), AGPL, BSD, MPL, APL, etc. Many of us now know how these differ. I started believing in this idea when I first read it purposed in a comment here (i.e.on HN). Standards and git-like-versioning seems the only way to bring transparency to these large, seemingly-opaque corporations.

It might be interesting to put the largest internet companies' TOS and privacy policies on github.
