There doesn't appear to be a single US #cellular carrier that doesn't have a #BindingArbitration clause in their #ToS.

@rl_dane Binding #arbitration is one of those things where I kinda just expect widespread abuse to happen, and people suffer for years, then the law fixes it *****eventually*****. Seems to be a pattern in history.

(I know this isn't the solution we would want. I try to avoid those TOSes BTW.)

Ford Motor Company sought to avail itself of a California exception to the privity requirement so that it could compel arbitration. The California Supreme Court said no.

Freaking fiddlesticks!!

Now meetup.com requires a flipping #BindingArbitration clause to use their service.

So, what do I do? Stick to my guns and have no chance for a social life, or capitulate to the conniving, capricious capitalistic caper?

This is the stupidest timeline.

Holy crap, you can't even read an article on CNN without first agreeing to a #BindingArbitration clause.

Well hello, #Dillo!!!
