x restaurant will only let you eat if you show your bank account details beforehand "to make sure youll be able to pay afterwards". obviously you wont go to that restaurant, but maybe thats the workplace restaurant (environment forces you to use it).

that doesnt sound good, no?

privacy laws must be enforced

did facebook require your salary level before signing up? Also it is not like buffet doesn't ask for your email/phone number to register in order to get in line, they do.

facebook will track all my interactions, make a profile of my habits and sell them to bidders. before signing up.

i dont see how needing a email/phone number to register for something is related to anything were talking about.

there are plenty of places where you pay before you get your food

yeah but in my example they dont make you pay beforehand: they want to know how much do you make, how much you spend, what places you spend on... is an example of being forced to comply with abusive clausules
