Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a visitor it’s always pretty exhausting and frustrating to read the Terms of Services; I see a big wall of text. Also for the legal language that’s mostly used is really difficult to understand what exactly is saying.

Describe the solution you’d like
It’d be awesome to have a summary of every section. The best example we could find is from 500px.com (External link)

It’s important that this summary is for human beings (NOT lawyers). The good thing about these kind of summaries is that also tackles an accesibility issue on this pages:

Success Criterion 3.1.5 Reading Level - Understanding Reading Level | How to Meet Reading Level (Level AAA)
When text requires reading ability more advanced than the lower secondary education level after removal of proper names and titles, supplemental content, or a version that does not require reading ability more advanced than the lower secondary education level, is available.
#reading-level" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="external-link-container">https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#reading-level (External link)

Describe alternatives you’ve considered
To have a summary with ticks and marks like tosdr.org (External link), but it’s more honest that a third party make this kind of analysis.

Another great example of how this UI should be is tldrlegal.com (External link). See example for Apple (External link)

Additional context
Read the ToS for meta.decidim.org (External link). No, seriously, put a cronometer and read it.

Does this issue could impact on users private data?
Yes, it’s about how we communicate the data that we ask the participant to give us.

Acceptance criteria

  • As an administrator I have an interface for making summary sections of the Terms of Service
  • As a visitor I can see this summary for every section on ToS
  • As an implementer when I seed I have content here (for new installations)
