      Honestly though, a bunch of other businesses and services started pulling that arbitration shit recently too.

          Man I can’t remember off hand. I know LG has been doing that shit.

          I got an email in the last week from either PayPal or Comcast with regards to arbitration. I threw it away.

          Edit Found it, it was Hulu

        By sending a physical mail to their office, if what I’ve heard on smashing security is correct.

          Not just physical mail. The letter had to have the serial numbers of all devices associated with your account.

          Sure, let me go digging behind my TV with all of my free time so that I can give you information you already have, dicks.

          Correct. Are you unfamiliar with stamps and paper? Sure it’s dumb and unfair that they force such a thing, but it takes 10 mins instead of 10 seconds. They’re not requiring hand delivery.

            Actually, I kinda am. I’ve only sent paper mail maybe once or twice in my life. I mean, it’s not so hard of course but still.

                Oh, so you actually sent one? I don’t have a Roku device (I don’t think they are sold where I live). What did you write them? Did you get some kind of response? Have they made the pop-up go away, and can you use your device like normal?

                  I sent a letter with the info they asked for. No response. The popup was a one time thing for some people. I never even saw it, but I did get an email with the new tos (which is why I sent them the letter)

                  Device works fine. This never impacted anyone’s actual device in any way.

        The agreement that was a pop-up you could only accept?

        My dog answered that before I got a look at it. Is that legally binding?

          Sure that argument is fine and all, but you could also just mail them a letter.

          Both approaches are moot because you and I don’t have the money or time to fight a huge enterprise or to bride lobby government officials.

      TBF the report says this was done using credential stuffing, so it wasn’t really Roku’s fault.
