      I love the cyberpunk future where even courts are privatized.

        As an American, I like the general idea of private courts provided:

        • both parties consent to the court used
        • any decisions can be appealed to a public court
        • private judges must be actively practicing with a public record
        • if the dispute is between a customer and the company, the company shoppers any costs, unless a public judge rules otherwise if the customer appeals

        Binding arbitration agreements suck though, and I think they are or should be unconstitutional.

  Yikes btw, their arbitration agreement is rather nasty. A bunch of weird convoluted rules about mass arbitration. Rather intimidating language about settlement offers made just before the arbitration hearings – basically if you turn down an offer and then get awarded less than what they offered you’re on the hook for paying all their fees from the time of the settlement offer, etc.

  How does one do this?

    You have to give notice via email to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com that you’re opting out of the arbitration agreement by May 15 (or 30 days after starting a new account). I included a short bit stating this was a notice opting out of the arbitration agreement and then my name, etc
