I was momentarily surprised that was counted as a secret, until I remembered I'm one of the wierdos who (used to) actually read the terms and conditions before ticking the mandatory checkbox, so I'm one of the few non-lawyers who has even read enough contracts to notice that pattern.

(Now I'm imagining boilerplate legalese being reduced to an enumerated list like the Space Corps Directives in Red Dwarf, with the associated failure mode).



Maybe one day we will use an AI to generate the legalese, and also use an AI to convert it back into a concise, readable form.


IIUC, with law you can have concise, readable, and unambiguous, but you can only have two of them at a time.

But IANAL.
