    Fucking bonkers. Between this an McD’s changing their ToS to say using their app waives any right to non-arbitration dispute, something needs to be done about companies trying to effectively write new laws into their ToS. This shit is beyond egregious

      They can write anything they want in a TOS, doesn’t mean it’s legally enforceable.

        even then, it’s essentially paywalling your rights. you need to go to court, wait for the matter to be adjudicated, hope it works out in your favor, run out any potential appeals, all while paying attorneys and not being able to do something you’re legally entitled to do. If you can’t do all that, then your rights are moot.

          Exactly. Anyone can put anything they want into a terms of service/contract. Doesn’t mean it’ll hold up in court.

        Good luck getting it thrown out, that’ll be an expensive legal battle even if you do win.
