Reads the terms & privacy policy before you sign up, and tells you how badly you're about to get played. You are one click away from agreeing to something you have never read. Nobody reads them. They are designed not to be read. Don't Be A Fool reads them for you, in the ten seconds before you press "Create account". HOW IT WORKS Land on a signup page and the extension finds the terms of service, privacy policy and cookie notice linked next to the form. It fetches them, and has a language model read every clause. Then it gives you a verdict on the page itself, next to the button you were about to click: • A score from 0 to 100 — how badly you'd get played • SAFE (0-24) · CAUTION (25-49) · RISKY (50-74) · FOOL (75-100) • The three worst clauses, each with the quote it came from Facebook's signup page scores 85 — FOOL. Cross-site tracking through the Meta Pixel. Data collected on people who don't even have an account. Your messages used to train their AI. Every one of those quoted from the clause it rests on, so you can check it yourself. WHY THE QUOTES MATTER A language model can be wrong. So every risk it reports comes with the actual text it was drawn from. You are never asked to take its word for it. This is a reading aid, not legal advice. WHAT IT COSTS Three full reads free — no account, no card, nothing to configure. After that, $2.99 a month, or $29 once for lifetime access. PRIVACY It would be a poor joke to harvest you while warning you about harvesting. • No account. No name, no email, no password. • The documents it reads are passed to the model and never stored. • No analytics in the extension. No ad IDs. No profile of you. • Verdicts cache on your own machine for 7 days, and never leave it. • Full policy: https://dontbeafool.co/privacy LIMITS Documents behind a login can't be read. Very long agreements are truncated, and the verdict says so when that happens. It reads what's linked from the page — if a site hides its real terms elsewhere, it won't find them. This is not legal advice. It is a fast read of the fine print by a language model, and it can be wrong. The quotes are there so you can check.
