This case is quite similar with Disney+ case.

You press ‘Agree’, you lost the right to sue the company.

    Forced arbitration is unjust and should be outlawed. It’s only legal in 7 other countries: UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, China and India.

    That’s right: 4 countries that are essentially US lapdogs, two dictatorships and one that’s on the fast track towards becoming one.

    Also, you can totally see how America is so much better and totally different than China. The more I look at both, the less I can tell the difference.

    But at least in the United States, there is hope.

    And they’ll keep getting away with it as long as corporations are treated better than actual people. And you know they put shit like this in the agreements because they know nobody reads them. And every time we get complacent or blame someone else, it only gets worse.

      That’s only half of the problem: even if you carefully read what you agree to, if you refuse agreements that include a forced arbitration clause, you have no other choice because all companies foist it on you.

      In other words, if you refuse forced arbitration, you essentially have to opt out of normal life, because there are no alternatives.
