I think this is brilliant! +1 for finding it.

I am impressed this comes from the Norwegian Consumer Council. I suppose Norway has little global clout as a country consuming these products so their best way to exert pressure is via ridicule on social media.

I certainly intend to distribute the link to this video as widely as I can.

Yes! Spread the message by all means!

Also +1 for this. Serious satirical bullseyes there. Brings back memories of my Photobucket debacle, where they provided me a free storage space for pics, then violated the agreement in this gradual way such that I eventually lost all access to the photos. Unless I wanted to pay some ridiculous fee. Then when I dragged my feet on that, they just deleted the photos and my account.

And...now I can't get the plus one button to work. Perfect! How fitting.
