Terms of Service when starting for first time

When the Peernet Browser starts for the first time it will show the Terms of Service. A few things it should include and mention:

  • A note that Peernet is a public network. Any activity (sharing files, downloading files, etc.) is publicly visible.
  • Every user is responsible for what they share. From an exposure perspective it can be explained that it's comparable to Torrents.
  • If users want anonymity/hide the IP, they should use a VPN.
  • A button to accept or reject the terms.

Here is the text that is shown for the Beaker Browser for reference:
