New Feature: automation and autodetection of ToS and PP pages

[hugoroy]

In order to make the whole process to submit terms more useful and simple, we could make use of some automation.

The most obvious feature would be for ToSBack:

• autodetect when the user is reading ToS or PP (there are obvious patterns, such as "tos" or "terms" in the URL, we should make a coherent list of these patterns, the tosback database is a good starting point to see what emerges as reliable)
• see if the URL is in the ToSBack database
• if not, suggest to the user to submit the URL to ToSBack
  • this could be done through an interface on tosdr.org

List of patterns to autodetect the URL of PP, ToS & others:

/privacy
/privacy-policy
/privacy_policy
/privacyPolicy
/pp.html

/full_data_use_policy
/legal/privacy
/about/privacy-policy/
/policies/privacy

Here’s a mockup of what the extension could show if the patterns match the URL:

@xMartin this could be a good code learning project :-)
