What do you click OK to when you sign up for a service? With all the services, email accounts, news letters, mailinglists (etc) we sign up to, it's a well known fact that less and less people actually read, in short, are aware of what they agree to.

We departed from Goodiff's archived changes in the Google Video TOS, an example of the terms we commonly click agree to when we use, view, link or upload material. Assuming Goodiff has a valid reason to monitor this document, we set out to visualize the difference it records between updates of documents. Rather than highlighting the changes, our initial proposal was to white out what was added or changed. Conceptually, theoretically, and ideally, the document will slowly disappear over time.
