The idea that the right to sue can even be waived is absurd.

Agreed. Almost can't do anything without an arbitration agreement anymore. Can't rent an apartment, buy a car or get a job. Something has to change!

What’s the point of a legal system if everything usurps it.

[–] VubDapple@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The purpose of the legal system is to insure only rich people get justice

How can a user agreement for a streaming app apply to a theme park? Is that legal?

I've heard most arbitration agreements don't generally hold up well in court.

Hopefully this is true

I've unfortunately heard that when Disney can't hold up in court, they just hold out until their opponent goes bankrupt

I'm new news apparently cyber bullying worked in Disney back down. But, I have heard the same thing about Disney holding out until the other side has no more money.

Very much this. Jeez, who'd want to sign up for a cable channel when it means the corporation can kill you with impunity?

You've heard about how having more money helps you win in court? This is how.

Despite the ridiculous claim, the plaintiff will still have to spend money, resources, and time arguing against this.

Guaranteed the Disney legal team has dozens of additional cards they could play to stall the system and discourage the family.

Hopefully the case was assigned to a no-BS judge
