Forced arbitration means any legal disputes you may have with Discord must be resolved through a single third party mediator, who 99% of the time is chosen by, and will rule in favor of, the corporation/Discord. This effectively removes all your legal rights as a consumer, because arbitration decisions are legally binding and non-appealable.
The new ToS goes into effect April 15th, 2024.
YOU CAN OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. You must email [email protected] BEFORE MAY 15TH (30 days after ToS effective date) with your username stating that you wish to opt out of the arbitration clause. Once May 15th passes you are bound to arbitration with Discord forever.
Opt-out before it’s too late.
I hate it’s not a button so much. They’re making opting out as big of a pain in the ass as possible -_-
imagine if they said that they required a notarized certified letter sent via snail mail
Roku made you send a physical letter in their latest change forcing arbitration.

Sending an email is much much better than sending a literal hand written letter.
I had one opt out where you had to hand write the letter and envelope. Absolutely no way it was enforceable but didn’t want to risk it at the time.
Not only that, but they also waive right for class action lawsuits and don’t make it clear if you can opt out of it.
