The recent Disney lawsuit reminded me of this. In order to get those deals, McDonald's makes you use their app, and part of signing up for the app is agreeing to their ToS which has an arbitration clause

Selling your rights to Disney so you can get a cheaper burger is a uniquely American flavor of dystopia

Yeah but there’s no way a judge will follow that reasoning. The response to the arbitration argument was that the argument was “unconscionable” and “no reasonable person” would think signing up for Disney Plus means they can’t file a wrongful death suit for a restaurant that has nothing to do with Disney Plus.

Also the lawyer who made the arbitration argument just got his client so much bad PR that i’m sure Disney Plus will take a hit over it.

Disney Plus will take a hit over it.

The average consumer is just so damn apathetic that nothing will happen
