23andMe Updates TOS to Force Binding Arbitration; Limited Time To Opt-Out https://www.patreon.com/posts/94164861
So what measures has 23andMe announced to mitigate the tremendous harm their negligence has caused? If you guessed, "updating their Terms of Service to force customers – including everyone who has used 23andMe since their first product became available in the United States in 2007 – into binding arbitration " you'd be correct. 23andMe is updating their TOS to strip victims of the company's negligence of the right to seek justice in a court of law, instead forcing those harmed by 23andMe's conduct into binding arbitration. (When even Stanford Business School is pointing out how manifestly unfair to consumers binding arbitration is, you know things are truly terrible.) 23andMe is emailing users about this change to their TOS, and giving users 30 days from receipt of that email to opt-out of the new, draconian, rights-stripping terms, by notifying "[email protected]". < - > -- Iw mailing list [email protected] http://sticklist.org/mailman/listinfo/iw_sticklist.org
