I find security questions frustrating, because they so often ask for information which could easily be found by googling (place of birth). Of course, you could make up the answer, but then you need to remember you did so.
You need a lawyer to understand the terms of services, even between lawers there is no single interpretation. How many softwares or websites you use? You cant call a lawer for aal of them.
@shehzadi, sounds like your typical disclaimer and or terms of service that needs to be agreed upon and or signed. Most of the time the developers and companies cover their tracks and the user just doesn't read those terms and simply agrees yet turns around and fights it if something comes up. Then again, I think there should be some laws that protect the users in that the developer and company need to make those terms more blunt than they normally do.
@shehzadi, I agree there. At the same time, we all know that both the browser and the site play a role. In my opinion, I would think the browser is more important because it should be able to stop any malicious activities a website tries to throw out there, but not everything is perfect nor will it ever be.
Here I can suggest for the legal terms if they are in hundred of pages, there must be a summary for important points which should be covered before signing. The person from the company and customer both needs to sign it after understanding the knitty gritty so that if anything comes afterword the customer can claim that it was not covered. Their might be other options as well.
Jason agreed. The extra security options provided by the browsers / website is actually the face cover so that they should not be blammed. They are to cover their base of providing a reason able security cover to stop critics from blamming them if they can develop strong security protocols it will be quite difficult for the consumers to even log on and end result is loss of clientage. So the websites are to keep a happy mix stopping both sides.

The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
