  • arbitration pretty much provides zero benefit to the consumer and all benefit to the organization. a big piece is that if you sign off on an arbitration clause, then there’s no such thing as class action lawsuit anymore.

    some companies make you sign a handwritten letter through snail mail just to opt out, because they don’t want anyone filing a lawsuit, and definitely dont’ want a lot of them filing together.

    this is another case of corporations saying “this option is best!!” while leaving out the “for us” part

    this is why it’s a big deal that steam said fuck that noise

    lol there is one person in this whole thread who’s getting mad, but it’s not me

    and yes, as someone else said, it’s no big deal for someone to contact the business office of an institution and offer money on the condition of anonymity and other conditions. and the business people say okay, forms are filled out and signed, and money is transferred. they want to be anonymous because they don’t want all the other institutions calling them asking for money too. and/or they don’t want the world to know they’re the ones influencing the school’s spending

    no one wants donors to be able to influence whoever they’re donating to. but that’s how reality works
