probably a data breach they’ll announce in a few days, with the timing of the two being a total coincidence

God these corporations make me want to fucking this comment was removed by Lemmy.
What a waste of evolution. We could have unironically had post-scarcity today if half of humanity wasn’t fucking evil.

Whatever civil/constitutional/etc right they are desperately trying to/going to deny you.

Forced arbitration should be illegal full stop

this kinda shit makes me understand the sovcit stuff a little more, “just send an email with this magic subject text and your rights are secured!”

It’s all tragic. It’s not the ‘magic words’ that absolve the crimes, but the names of whoever speaking and their wallets.

Someone please explain why I should or shouldn’t do this

Companies only really have one reason to prevent their customers from taking them to court: they intend to break the law or otherwise harm their customers.

This kind of nonsense is why I bypass the NYT’s paywall, and any other paywall. If I wanted to ever subscribe; this ensures that I will want to subscribe far less intensely than I would have ever naturally done. Probably this ensures the urge to subscribe will be non-existant; and my urge to ‘become a Giant Tool and just crawl their site daily with my paywall bypass’ is increasing at a pace that might alarm some people.

Does this apply if you dont subscribe? How would they know I didn’t just start using it?

If you don’t subscribe it’s pretty unlikely that you’re going to have legal grounds to sue over anything to begin with

You don’t have to be a registered client of a corporation to be harmed by the corporation.

Forced Arbitration Skyrockets. Need to ban this shit.
Some irony as NYT did a big investigation back in 2015: [In Arbitration, a ‘Privatization of the Justice System’(nytimes.com/…/in-arbitration-a-privatization-of-t…)
