Heads up! #CashApp probably had a big security breach they're about to announce, because they just released new terms of service with a draconian binding arbitration clause, and the only way to opt out is to fill out a specific form on paper and pay to send it to them via postal mail.
Personally, I'm just going to delete my account.

Oh what the heck, I can't even create an account on Bible Study Fellowship's website without agreeing to #BindingArbitration. Dear God, this country's nuts.

Time to stop using #Roku products, apparently. Their instructions for opting out of binding arbitration are clearly designed to make it as hard as possible for people to do so. Fuck that noise.

#privacy #BindingArbitration

Screenshot of opt-out clause from dispute resolution terms: L. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of arbitration by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address by mail: General Counsel, Roku Inc., 1701 Junction Court, Suite 100, San Jose, CA 95112 within 30 days of you first becoming subject to these Dispute Resolution Terms. Such notice must include the name of each person opting out and contact information for each such person, the specific product models, software, or services used that are at issue, the email address that you used to set up your Roku account (if you have one), and, if applicable, a copy of your purchase receipt. For clarity, opt-out notices submitted via any method other than mail (including email) will not be effective. If you send timely written notice containing the required information in accordance with this Section 1(L), then neither party will be required to arbitrate the Claims between them.

"We cry shame on the feudal Baron who forbade The peasant to turn a cold of Earth unless he surrendered to his Lord a fourth of his crop. We call those the barbarous times. But if the forms have changed, the relations have remained the same, and the worker is forced, under the name of free contract, to accept feudal obligations. For, turn where he will, he can find no better conditions. Everything has become private property, and he must accept, or die of hunger."

Peter Kropotkin, "The Conquest of Bread "
