Arbitration clause for wrongful death?

[–] [email protected] 86 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yup. Because her husband got a 1 month free trial of Disney+. This is real and absurd.

By no means do I agree with forced arbitration, but so many articles are reporting this partially.

They also agreed to the same clause when buying the tickets in 2023. It’s not just the streaming service ToS in play. Sure gets a lot of clicks saying it like it was though.

Again I think this is all horseshit and forced arbitration can get fucked, but it’s not being reported properly. The Disney+ trial could have not happened at all and the argument from Disney wouldn’t change.

Disney adds that Mr Piccolo accepted these terms again when using his Disney account to buy tickets for the theme park in 2023.

It doesn’t matter - citing their D+ free trial to build their case is insane

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

But they also cited the clause in the streaming service too. So the reporting stands.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Restaurant wasn’t in a ticketed park. The tickets are as relevant as the D+ trial.

Believe or not, in today's america... Yes

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago (3 children)

In yesterday's America too. Look at the Battle of Blair Mountain for instance where corporations have run the show for centuries.

I was being cheekey but yes his fact needs to be stated clearly so younger folks understand the full context!

Thank you for the service!

The battle ended after approximately one million rounds were fired

Holy shit this was an enormous conflict

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

And let's be clear, corporations have been doing this since well before the US existed, or does no one remember Britain's history?
