Am I right in thinking this only applies to US users?
I dont think this would fly in the EU, but will opt out just in case
One key problem with forced arbitration clauses is that company chooses and pays the "neutral" arbiter, who is inevitably biased against the consumer.
Lol,no. European civil law knows arbitration very well and it's literally mentioned in the clauses of Discord here. European civil law absolutely knows law suits, but they are not based on case-law and far less based on judge-made law compared to the common law system.
So?
Bruh you're high
It wouldn't surprise me if that were the case, US doesn't seem to be very consumer-friendly.
We're only billionaire friendly.
Such a shame your billionaires aren't friendly
You cant become a billionaire ethically, so its difficult to imagine that any of them are.
Exactly
Yeah. The arbitration section of the agreement specifically says it only applies to US residents.
