Disney+ terms prevent allergy death lawsuit, Disney says
(www.bbc.com)
It should be illegal to waive your right to go court.
I think it is in most places
It definitely should be illegal as a term for using a product or service. At the absolute minimum we should ban non-mutual arbitration clauses and these bullshit “for any dispute” clauses.
Everything about this is awful, forced arbitration in consumer terms of service are a pox on justice.
So... Those are not different legal entities? Usually those things are split up 100 different ways.
I’m sure it depends on which is more convenient for Disney at any given time.
I am sure contract was drafted in a way that makes it government your relationship with god while Disney has zero responsibility for anything
They early been getting away with this for decades. Courts are captured and won't enforce basic contract law anymore.
Fuck u slave, corpos own you and courts will let them fuck you with impunity.
Piracy is safer, more cost efficient, privacy respecting, and more versatile when consuming media across multiple devices.
We have come a long way, folks. The dystopia is here and it's going strong, but we shouldn't let it strike us down.
Please consider piracy for your own good! ❤️
It's insane to me that they would try to pull this shit and then try to sell us on the evils of piracy.
Disney should be broken up
Damn it Jim, people are starting to think we're actually good, we need to shown them that we dont care about them, they're just money, how could we completely fuck over our customers while making them thank us for the privilege...
people are starting to think we're actually good
Are they?
Them fighting Desantis made people like them a bit, but they were just being an evil dick to a just as evil dick that we hated, the old the enemy of my enemy is my friend situation.
fighting Desantis
Sounds like a local American matter. I hadn't even heard of this and it certainly wouldn't change my view of Disney at all.
I was curious. Looks like Florida has about the same population as Sri Lanka. Similar to Romania for the EU folks. While I could find them both on a map I couldn't tell you anything going on their. Much less news from a year ago.
Maybe its fair to bump the populations some because Desantis was a Republican presidential hopeful. But I couldn't tell you the names of the folks who lost the last Tory leadership election.
So, yeah, comment checks out.
This is why we break up large companies.
In general, those arbitration clauses should be made illegal.
This might be a good impetus to make that happen.
This is sickening.
Don't they have notifications in their restaurants warning people about allergens? Also, it is cheaper to pay the guy the $50k he wants so long as he signs a doc that says Disney is not at fault. This is so strange (and terrible).
The claim is that the victim repeatedly informed the waiter about her allergy needs and checked more than once whether her order could be prepared safely in accordance with her needs, the waiter repeatedly told her it was prepared accordingly, and it was not.
Restaurants are absolutely capable of allergen free food prep and telling customers which foods cannot be safely prepared. Disney is absolutely at fault.
Fine, but it is just weird they didn't have a notification in their restaurant regarding allergens and aren't just paying him the requested settlement - like this is the strangest, most expensive path they could have taken.
A notice isn't relevant. It doesn't remove their liability.
And he absolutely definitely shouldn't take a settlement that requires absolving them of wrongdoing.
I really want to imagine that any judge reading this argument will just lower their glasses slightly and look at Disney lawyers with a "bitch, really?" look.
That won't happen, at least not in the USA, but it's nice to imagine...
Hello Monopoly
Disney using the Lightning Lane to infamy.
