F-Secure's Herod Clause

Privacy UX F-Secure's Herod Clause “...and you agree to assign your first born child to us for the duration of eternity.” F-Secure has confirmed that it won’t be enforcing the clause.

A presentation slide humorously shows a fictional privacy clause requiring users to hand over their first-born child for eternity, followed by F-Secure reassuring them that it will not enforce the clause. The joke mocks deceptive website terms and the absurdly broad permissions users may technically accept.
