Contracts — Platform Terms

Platform Terms

The terms of service and policies that govern the platforms we all use.

## The Agreements You Agreed To When you clicked "I agree", you entered a contract. Most people don't read it. We do. Platform terms of service are long, written in legal prose, and updated without announcement. They govern what you can post, what the platform can do with your data, and what happens when things go wrong. --- ## What We Analyse - Data usage clauses — what companies can do with your content and behaviour - Content moderation policies — the rules, the exceptions, and the discretion - Arbitration clauses — why you can't sue most platforms in court - Termination and account recovery — what happens when you lose access - API terms — the rules for building on top of platforms --- ## Recent Analysis - What Twitter/X's terms changes actually mean for creators - Why Substack's model is different from every other newsletter platform - GitHub's terms and what they say about your code - The arbitration clause problem: why it matters more than you think ← [Back to Contracts](/contracts/)
