In an email sent to customers earlier this week viewed by Engadget, the company announced that it had made updates to the “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section” of its terms of service that would prevent customers from filing class action lawsuits.
So fucking shady.
True!
Reminds me of other industries that have immunity against being sued in court.
Companies also try to make it seem for the workers, if you sue company, that they have to be handled internally (scare tatic?).
The latter would be an arbitration agreement, and unfortunately I think they’re enforceable. They make you sign an contract waiving your rights and agreeing to arbitration.
I would still consult a lawyer to make sure.
Thank you for the info!
