Yes. As clauses are written in a contract. However (in my country at least) there are special classes of clauses that need to be signed not only once, but multiple times to be valid/enforceable: this ensures that your attention is drawn towards them.
A similar mechanism could be very useful for the Terms and Conditions of software packages, too. For instance, I think that the installation procedure for Android apps is a step in the right direction, because it requires that you explicitly authorize the software to access each specific category of your personal data. However, this is not sufficient: the procedure should also inform you about what the app does with the data (things like: it processes data locally on your device/it gives someone else access to the data).
