Inspiration
How many times have we accepted the terms and conditions of a website or application without actually reading them? We stamp our approval on these legally binding documents without actually knowing what responsibilities they tie us to. For example, did you know Facebook has the right to use all the material you post in whatever way they choose?
What it does
This program scans the terms and conditions of a site and raises red flags based on key phrases. It can either read from the url or just a copy of the text.
Challenges I ran into
To gather data from a website, I downloaded the HTML of the site as a String. However, parse the HTML was troublesome, as the tags and special characters interefere with the readability desired by the end-user.
