    I doubt this will stand a court’s scrutiny

    Unless it reaches the Supreme Court and in yet another 6-3 decision the corpos get to loot and pillage more with even less accountability.

      It’s being taken to court in Florida so I’m not sure it’ll even have to make it that far. Can’t wait for the corporations with captive user bases to start rolling these arbitration clauses in as a paid service for other corporations.

      Sorry, you can’t sue ExonMobile for wrongful death, they have an arbitration clause in Comcast’s end user agreement for your internet service that they leased. If you wanted to sue ExonMobile you should have not had internet, dummy.

      I’m less cynical about SCOTUS, but only because they aren’t a rubber stamp like the 5th Circuit. They are absolutely beholden to FedSoc and Conservative interests, but I doubt corporations want to be bound by clauses like this from some supplier they do business with, either.

        Is it cynicism when I’m following their actions and expecting more of the same? The SC makes shit up after the fact and finds ass-pulls to make it sound like the Constitution said that. That’s why, effectively, the POTUS can’t commit crimes as long as they are arbitrarily determined to be “official acts” now. They already announced we’re ruled by kings. How much further need it go?

      When I was younger, I used to think politics didn’t matter and that all politicians are crooks. Now I know that all politicians are crooks AND politics matters and has real-world consequences.
