Noticed this update got pushed just now.

Edit: Seems they’re doing this to prevent costs from arbitration.

Regardless of their motivations this seems like a big positive. Forced arbitration clauses should be illegal and unenforceable in any context where it isn't customary for both parties to have legal counsel reading over the contract. And it's appalling that waivers for class action lawsuits are legal at all.

After the Disney debacle I've started noticing how many I see. It's really infuriating. I already had the opinion that they should be illegal but holy fuck they're everywhere.
