We have done that.  It was bug #1172126 [1].

According to the bug's history[2], it took less than 90 minutes for Tyler 
Downer, Project Manager for the User Advocacy team, to determine the bug was 
INVALID and "RESOLVED."  It was then suggested the discussion by taken over 
here instead.

It feel to me like we are being swept under the run (and by the User Advocacy 
team no less).  In the mean time, Pocket(TM) is not providing any clarification 
on their agreement at *install* Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.  My guess 
is they don't feel the need to respond since they already are being fast 
tracked.

This whole situation reminds me of the late 1980's "shrink-wrap" licenses where 
a sticker notified you that you agreed to the license inside the box by 
breaking the shrink wrap to open the box.  Only now it is that you agree by 
installing an integrated Pocket(TM) platform software when you may not even be 
aware of (and it's terms) until it is already installed.  And I love the part 
about a Privacy Policy that can be completely changed to whatever Pocket(TM) 
wants just by silently posting a new one online and waiting 30 days (including 
new terms applied to data already previously collected).  Raise your hand if 
you want to re-visit the Pocket(TM) Privacy Policy web page every 30 days to 
check if you still agree to having the software installed (it doesn't even 
matter if you are using it)!  There is literally not a single irrevocable term 
provided on the user's behalf.

Good job "User Advocacy" on getting this "RESOLVED!"
