    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.

        Also when it comes to choosing an arbitrator, we should be able to choose an unbiased arbitrator, rather than the one that is being paid by the company we have a dispute with.

        There’s a lawyer that goes into detail on this from time to time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0iXFnGMD48&t=702s
