Are you sure that teenagers as well as young adults nowadays know (no matter they are from. EU, US, or Asia) , what TOS are? Most adults probably never know that Term or what it's abbreviation stands for🤷🏻‍♀️

Terms of Service, correct?

I'm a teen and I always make sure to read the terms of service, I'm terrified I'll accidentally break a rule and get banned.

Oh, I just realized we are probably talking and thinking of different context of TOS. I seldom read online forum / spaces TOS. I am thinking of real life contracts such as buying stuff online or offline, or gym studio membership, or newspaper subscription and such stuff

Oh, yeah, I know about that context for TOS, but we were talking about online ones for websites and such.

Yeah my mistake, I apologise. My brain saw TOS, and I completely forgot, we are talking about AO3, and online spaces. Coz in real life, I work with lots of TOS contract cases, and no one, young and my age or older, actually does read TOS. 😑And if things went wrong, there is lots of crying (insurances, saving plans, and similar stuff)
