facebook cambridge analytica scandal bursting a focus on terms and conditions and prevacid policies so we decided to take 15 of the most visited apps and sites including facebook and linkedin and snap chat to name just a few, to put there as terms and conditions to standardised readability test used in the us. army and academia and what they found is that all of these terms and conditions and prevacid policies required a reading age of at least 18, that‘s equivalent to a university level education and that‘s despite the fact many of these sites at least eight of them can be signed up to buy kids as young as the team. there‘s no real way they can possibly understand what they are signing up to and crucially this comes just over a month since the introduction of that eu wide gdp at law that we heard about which mandates companies that are communicating with children use andi are communicating with children use and i could clear and plain language in their policy documents. what we found doesn‘t seem to chime with that. what's the solution, what is being suggested that the site can do to ensure that notjust13—year—olds but all of us bother to read the terms and conditions before we click the except button. the sites themselves got whacked to us and said these policies are not our primary form of communication to our customers, we have privacy centres online not easier to read and videos etc but child safety campaigners say there is a very simple solution, when you sign up to these sites your privacy settings should be restricted by default and you choose what to share and that would solve the problem of these inscrutable documents. thank you very much, a brief look at the website. go on to business life, plenty there, including news that elon musk may have offered to help in the rescue of those 12 thailand football players and their coach in the caves. go to the website for more on that. you‘re watching business live — our top story: president trump unleashes his long—threatened trade war on china as sweeping import taxes come into force. beijing says it will take "necessary countermeasures". a quick look at how the markets are faring... this is europe. a bit of a mixed bag. the dax is near enough its opening mark. this new development doesn‘t appear to be affecting european markets too much currently. now let‘s get the inside track on theresa may‘s critical cabinet talks today... the bbc‘s business editor simon jack is with us now. a crucial day for the british prime minister. she will be getting it from all sides today. what she have? you hear the word crunch a lot. when it comes to brexit. are you sure this time it really is? i have been crunching four months! i‘m getting hungry! she has basically mapped out her vision of what the uk‘s relationship will look like with the eu. she is going for a 12 hour lockdown at her retreat to thrash this out and sell it to sceptical elements of her own government. it‘s very, located. iwill elements of her own government. it‘s very, located. i will pick out some key features. —— it is very complicated. she says we need a rule book when it comes to trading with the eu. an electrical standards, food standards, we will be on the same page. that makes it easierfor things to flow back and forth. it is potentially difficult because when it comes to eu standards some people say that could constrain the uk‘s future trading with the us. that is one big problem. 0thers future trading with the us. that is one big problem. others would say that trade deals don‘t matter too much because the us is already our biggest single export country. germany doesjust biggest single export country. germany does just fine with china and they don‘t have a trade deal. that‘s just one area. the other one will be around what happens with customs. the uk will continue to collect customs on the eu‘s behalf on goods heading into the eu but arrives at uk shores. we collect the money, we forward it to brussels for those goods which are going to make their own way to the eu. stuff that stays here, we could possibly offer a rebate if we decide to do a lower tariff. the beauty of that, no hardboard in northern ireland, which was one of the big features. —— hard border. but the eu doesn‘t like the idea of the uk being a border authority for a club it is no longer authority for a club it is no longer a part. nevertheless, business quite likes theresa may‘s version of this. you see a bunch of big businesses like jaguar land rover, help us, others coming out saying, be careful, do not throw any sand in the engine, excuse the pun. —— airbus, and others coming out. they are no big fan of brexit. but of the versions of brexit it is the least worst option as far as they are concerned. will they be able to do that after any kind of brexit? two problems. first she needs to sell it to her own cabinet. then she needs to her own cabinet. then she needs to publish all of this stuff, white paper, which will go to the eu. they will look at it. lots of people say it is going to be unworkable. she will say to the eu, look, i have made up my mind. two years of negotiating. we have a blueprint. now we can turn to you and say, use your imagination, let‘s take out a way to work in the interest of both sides. people say getting this done is the equivalent of playing a round of golf at getting 18 hole in ones in one go. is that possible? it's never been done! there is a quote from hmg has no clue on how to exit brexit. some people in the government would say that is not helpful when going into battle. especially with her own party. we think up to six, possibly nine cabinet ministers. some of the people who are sceptical, he would like a clean break from people who are sceptical, he would like a clean breakfrom europe, they met last night at the foreign 0ffice. who knows what plans they we re 0ffice. who knows what plans they were hatching. they probably want to say, we don‘t like this, but we have an alternative plan. all eyes on chequers. i wish i knew what will happen. we hear the word crunch a lot, but it really does feel like it at the moment. yes, i understand smartphones have been banned. really! you mentioned jaguar land rover, hot on the heels of bmw and air bus —— and airbus, really talking about the issues of no deal. if there is no deal it will make it difficult for investment in the uk in the future. jaguar land rover is a british marque, to use the car terminology, but it has factories in china, in india, in slovakia, in the us. they are saying, look, we have to go where the trade is most seamless. when you are putting together a vehicle, there are millions of components arriving every day. i have been down to some of these factories. it isn‘t just have been down to some of these factories. it isn‘tjust in time, it is just factories. it isn‘tjust in time, it isjust in sequence. factories. it isn‘tjust in time, it is just in sequence. the yellow wing mirror arrives when the yellow chassis arrives. it goes together. they make a million at the bmw plant every 60 seconds. i trust you, you a lwa ys every 60 seconds. i trust you, you always get it right, what is your prediction? 0h! you have really put me on the spot. that is my job. you should ask laura kuenssberg! chuckles i think we will get... the remaining factions, if you like, within the government say they don‘t think anybody will resign today. but that isa anybody will resign today. but that is a bold call. it will be a long day. it is very difficult to call. thanks, simon, we will have you back on monday to talk about it, i‘m sure. in a moment we‘ll take a look through the business pages but first here‘s a quick reminder of how to get in touch with us. stay up—to—date with all of the day‘s business news as it happens on the bbc‘s business live page. there‘s insight and analysis from our team of editors right around the globe. and we want to hear from you, too. get involved on the bbc‘s live business page, at bbc.com/business. on twitter, we‘re @bbcbusiness. and you can find us on facebookod to see you back to talk through some of the stories which have caught our eye today. earlier in the programme would ask people to tweet in about one of the stories that the bbc has been investigating. —— we asked people. we have one behind us now. whether or not the terms and conditions for a lot of our social media sites have too long and too colour—coded for any of us to understand. —— two —— too complicated for any of us to understand, particularly 13—year—olds who are allowed to sign up. children are very unlikely to read through or understand what‘s going on. they are talking about perhaps making it easy to understand. but they will still tick the box and go through. they won‘t understand the potential impact of what they are signing up for. mary read on twitter says, never read them, no time. i‘m the same. meggat says, they are written for us to get confused, what they can say in 100 words they say it in 2000. that isn‘t just words they say it in 2000. that isn‘tjust an words
