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.

        For sure and, even then, in uk law, you can’t sign away your freedom to take regular legal action against someone who caused you damage, due to their illegal actions. Something like the one in the article would be, rightly, dismissed as a repugnant clause.

        It should be illegal for companies with a legal budget over X€ to have illegal clauses on their terms and conditions.

      The Whitehouse is 12 years overdue for its 200-year reno. Are you angling to get it done for free?

      The US has twice as many parties as China. If that ain’t a major difference then I don’t what is /s

        Caught yer /s and adding to it a variation of the quote that usually goes here:

        The United States effectively has a one-party system, the business party, with two factions, Republicans and Democrats.

          That was true through the Obama administration.

          I don’t know what is going on now.

          There’s the Left Butt Cheek Party and the Right Butt Check Party, both from the same ass hence why you get the same shit from both.

      Off topic, but since this is Lemmy, I choose to interpret your political assessment as,

      • 4 US lapdogs: UK, Saudi Arabia, China and India
      • 2 dictatorships: Canada and Australia
      • fast becoming a dictatorship: Ireland.

      If you look at the list all those countries were influenced or under control by the British Empire.

        I mean, that’s true, but correlation v causation and all that. The list of countries “owned or influenced by” the British Empire includes a lot more than just these 7, and yet the forced arbitration club is a small one, so I’m not 100% sure I agree with your police work there, Hal.
