Like, it's such a punch in the face of the user when it's hidden in the terms of service. It's so scummy it hurts. I still can't believe corporations are getting away with avoiding going through the legal system like that.

Here are the cons of an arbitration clause:

  1. You lose the right to class action lawsuits
  2. It's less public than going through the legal system

No. Arbitration can save all parties time and money in many types of disputes. It's often reasonable for a negotiated contract between near-peer parties to contain an arbitration clause.

What should be illegal is arbitration clauses in non-negotiable terms of service.
