Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the World Wide Web, listed his top worries for the future of his creation earlier this year. One of his biggest concerns is the increasingly dense terms of service agreements that companies ask users to sign. Now, a public Wi-Fi company has demonstrated just how dangerous those complicated agreements can be by inserting absurd conditions that thousands of people unwittingly agreed to.

Purple is a Manchester-based company that specialises in running Wi-Fi hotspots for brands like Legoland, Outback Steakhouse and Pizza Express. This week, the company came clean about its two-week experiment in which it inserted a "Community Service Clause" into its terms of service agreement. More than 22,000 people signed up to perform 1000 hours of menial labour for the chance to check in on their Facebook and maybe look up some directions.
