It's because the EU goes based off the clear intent of the law (yes, many are vague af, but many are quite clear as well). In the US, our courts allow those nitpicky bullshit loopholes to set precedence. And my favorite legal argument in the US is a judge going "there is no precedence for it, sorry". Like, bruh, set the precedence. You think a judge has never done such before? What are they gonna do, overturn your case. It's so hard for a judge at _any_ level to receive reprimanding. I believe it's because they want to allow shitty corrupt behavior, but don't want to look like a dick doing so. Idk 🤷

The Disney TOS in their Disney+ app meaning you can't sue Disneyland/Disneyworld is actually disgusting, and I've made a point of telling everyone who has children to never take their kids there. Disney turned magic into lawyer magic Yes I know that Disney dropped that clause for the man, but they only did that after millions outcried on social media. Disney hopes that you will forget.

There are some who aren't as bad as others, proven by how they vote and what they are pushing to approve or decline being exactly in line with corporate greed and interest. Yet so many vote for the ones who blatantly, always prove their a corporate puppet because as hard as corporations/wealthy work to lobby and pay off politicians, they work even harder at making sure the general population votes for the politicians that are the most easily manipulated and bought. There's people who are so gullible they watch their news(corporate wealth propaganda) and believe everything they hear, get outraged and goes to vote for the very people the corporations/wealthy use to screw over everyone else, AND THEY THINK THEY ARE VOTING AGAINST THE CORPORATIONS/WEALTHY. At a certain point you have to blame the gullible and uneducated voters instead the corporations/wealthy. People preach small government and don't want government regulations because they're too stupid to realize corporations/wealthy want small government/lack of regulations so they can screw over everyone else easier, and that's why "small government, less regulations" is such a talking point on their propaganda news.

My favorite judges are the ones who demand a company turn over their documents. The the company thinks they're clever and send tens to hundreds of thousands of memos. Most judges be like "lol, good luck defense." But on that rare occasion, it's cool to see a judge releases documents to the public to crowdsource. It makes the whole litigation process much worse for the company. Though, when found guilty, I'm of the opinion that companies have to give the money, not as a cash prize (that we'll end up footing), but rather in the form of shares. The government would then have a _financial_ incentive to keep the company on track, or else they risk losing their money too.

Another reason they want to use arbitration is that each case starts with a clean sheet. Someone could have prevailed the day before (not likely, but go with me here) on an extremely similar scenario. But your arbitrator is barred from sharing that result and if you don't make the same argument then you could lose even so. Its like I was screwed by Amazon out of 10K or so on my Amazon Seller account. My option is arbitration and I haven't been able to confirm that ANYONE has ever prevailed against Amazon. I hired a lawyer to "negotiate" with them short of legal action and they told my lawyer to pound sand. Why not, they know he had no legal recourse and THEY OWN their processes including arbitration.

Thank you for raising awareness about this! Arbitration within terms of use or sale should be illegal. In fact, it should only be allowed if entered into explicitly and voluntarily by all parties at the point of dispute, and that's generous.

Don't forget the issue with issue with videogames and that it's difficult to play older games that are no longer supported. Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is a game that is just one example. Nintendo recently ended its free app, and released a completed one time paid app. Many features that people paid for was gone. When do people own digital content? They don't. This is why I don't pay for online content-even streaming services.

South Park warned us YEARS ago about this in their episode Human CentiPad (IIRC). The boys kept getting high-pressured to accept the TOS, and then "Steve Jobs" would yell "why won't it READ?!" and some fresh hell would follow that had been buried in the TOS somewhere.

Going after CEOs doesn't change anything sadly. They are like hydras. Another one will pop up to continue the work. It's a fundamental problem. Something that can only be changed through government and who you vote for. Companies are always gonna go to the furthest lengths to make as much money as possible. It's the governments job to limit and regulate them as much as possible. Corporate entities shouldn't be granted the same rights as the individual.

Disney is a horrible company. They invited me to Shark Tank twice because I’d made millions with silicone wristbands. They canceled me because I spent 2 years in prison 13 years before my success Then, they invited one of my far less creative or passionate competitors! She wouldn’t agree to giving part of her wristband business so they shot her and her crappie new idea down that they didn’t want anyway.
