Do you guys also think arbitration should be outlawed?

Like, it’s such a punch in the face of the user when it’s hidden in the terms of service. It’s so scummy it hurts. I still can’t believe corporations are getting away with avoiding going through the legal system like that.

Here are the cons of an arbitration clause:

  1. You lose the right to class action lawsuits
  2. It’s less public than going through the legal system

Replying to an earlier post

You lose the right to class action lawsuits

I love when I get a coupon in the mail and lose my right to sue the company, whereas the offending company pays basically some small fine and the lawyers go home with a huge payday.

But I agree, forced arbitration sucks, I’m glad that it’s unenforceable here (other than in B2B agreements)
