Week 4 - Terms of Servitude

According to this the terms of use for this very service, they may "refuse service to anyone at any time without notice for any reason". I suppose that means even after they have allowed a user access to the service. That statement immediately follows their age disclaimer, that you must be at least thirteen years of age to use Blogger. I don't recall being asked for any proof of age or identity when signing up though... I could comment on that but someone there might read it and disapprove and terminate my account with extreme prejudice against all those who point out their stupidity... oops. Reminds me of an email I had at aussiemail - suspended without notice or explanation. Really very annoying. The way I read it - this service is provided and they claim no responsibility for the content yet may rescind the privilege of access due to use of said content. So the only things really that make them remove user posted content are local laws of the nation or state in which the poster resides. Sounds like Blogger has no standards or opinions.
