Legislating in this direction might lead to there being a quiz at the end of every privacy policy. This doesn't seem like it would be great outcome to me.

Perhaps a better way would be to legislate what privacy policies can contain, so that they are more like Creative Commons licenses.

As much as Google wants your data, there is no way they're going to actually make customers spend hours wading through dense legal speak before allowing them to use their service. No one would do it. They'd just go to duckduckgo.

Alternately, if getting access to your data is really so important to Google that they're willing to put users through so much pain, maybe users really do need to go through that pain, so they know what they're agreeing to.
