  I wonder if that will hold up in court for existing customers affected prior to the updated TOS.

      It probably wouldn't hold up in court, but it can be used as a bludgeon to dissuade people from filing in the first place. Roku is totally allowed to lie and say "You can't sue, you agreed to mandatory arbitration. // You can't join the class action, you agreed not to. If you do either of these things, we'll sue you."

      This could easily dissuade quite a few people from litigating or joining existing class actions, limiting how much the company needs to pay out.

    Unlikely.

    Note that the bit about arbitration or not filing class action suits is not new. The new bit was having to talk to their lawyers even before requesting arbitration.

    But in any case, I doubt those would be held enforceable in the event of something like this.
