<div id="urb-ads-toc-box" class="post-ads-toc-box urb-ads-toc" style="display:none;"></div><p>Everyone knows that actually reading a &ldquo;terms of service&rdquo; agreement is rarely (if ever) done by consumers using large digital platforms, but there is something powerful about seeing just how overwhelming this task is in print.</p>

<p>Artist Dima Yarovinsky installed a series of these covering Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Tinder on normal-width rolls of paper, creating infographics to display at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/side-view.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-115629" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/side-view-644x430.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="430"></a></p>
<p>Titled simply &ldquo;I AGREE,&rdquo; the resulting sheets are so long that, even hung up high toward the ceiling, they roll off the wall and onto the floor below.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/instagram-closeup-tos.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-115628" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/instagram-closeup-tos-644x430.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="430"></a></p>
<p>Per Dima:&nbsp;the average person reads at a rate of 200 words per minute and the average terms-of-service features close to 12,000 words, meaning they would take about an hour to read (assuming the reader didn&rsquo;t stumble on all the obscure legalese).</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/i-agree.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-115632" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/i-agree-644x965.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="965"></a></p>
<p>By setting it in a standard font in physical space, it becomes much easier to see just how long these agreements are, and what corporations are forcing on those who would use their services.</p>
