Terms and Conditions May ApplyThis Sunday November 17 2013 Demand Progress will present an online screening of Terms and Conditions May Apply – “an eye-opening presentation of how corporations and the government are tracking your every move on the Internet” – that has won several awards and been showing in selected theaters across the country over the summer. It was also shown to members of Congress at a special screening on Capitol Hill on October 29. Sunday’s online screening is free for the first 3,000 visitors (first come, first served at 4pm) and for $3 admission after all the free seats are filled. Early attendees will also be treated to a preview of “The Internet’s Own Boy”, a forthcoming Aaron Swartz Documentary. The film itself will screen at 5.15pm.
