The 0FTC has really gotten off their ass this year and I hope they take action against this arbitration clause bullshit because it needs to be illegal. Considering this is the second time this week I’ve heard about a cooperation doing this I can only assume it’s more common than we think. No fucking way a company should just be able to say “You can’t sue us if we violate your rights.”
I’ve been opting out of every single one, but some companies are assholes and make you send it in through a written letter (Meta) or worse, automatically accept it if you’ve even just used the app/site/product after they send an email to you regarding changes. The fact that massive corporations also say all matters must be resolved in small claims court and with mandatory arbitration with the company’s arbitrator is incredibly illegal sounding. Fuck you AT&T. They were the company who fought for revoking arbitration rights in contracts. The Supreme Court decided it was legal.
Same’s true if you sell something on Etsy

Ah yes, our old friends the Supreme Court.
doing a hell of a lot worse than suing them needs to be normalized.
not just agents and property of corporations who piss you off, but their executives, and any corporate lawyer or judge.
edit: to remind them why they try to gaslight us with the courts. if you care about the law, break it. if you don’t, also break it.
