Summary: A man signed up for a free 1 month trial of "Disney+". That trial contained an arbitration provision. Disney is now arguing in court that arbitration provision covers, literally, the Disneyworld theme park killing his wife
love the implication that "trying a one month free trial" where there's a big asterisk next to free leads to a line that says "this corporation is legally allowed to murder you now"
If you went to a cyberpunk author from the early 80s and said "in 40 years murder will become legal because of a contract provision the Disney corporation attached to a television show" the author would go "yes, yes, of course, exactly that scenario is in my book" and then pause and say "wait but you mean like, for real?"
@mcc I made the exact same "80s Cyberpunk" comparison about this story to a friend yesterday and it's so damn true. This wasn't the part we wanted! Where's my wardrobe of detachable robot limbs and my job of hacking into megacorps directly with my brain?
@mike I have, by this point, replaced far fewer of my body parts with robot parts than I probably would if given the opportunity.
