You have nothing to hide. Just sign away all your rights.
-
And we should just accept that?

-
Doesn't matter if you should or not. Point is you accept it or you don't use any service whatsoever.

What do you think the closed beta was for? It was so they can get in and get on the moderator roster

Looks like there's a viable alternative here.
-
Really? Who are you going to sue here? And how much money do you think you can sue them for?

That's why 2FA via phone number shouldn't be a thing

I've gotten settlement money from it before

Would you say it is a one in a 30 million occurrence, roughly?
It was an asspull example but there are similar cases in the past. Forced arbitration of any lawsuit you present for any reason is bad, be it as simple as their software accidentally bricking your phone or as major as an attempt on your life being ignored by the platform.

I feel like we're going to have a similar issue a couple of years or decades down the line with Bluesky. People would be better off on the Fediverse instead.

No, this time will be different, I swear!

Funny, someone shared an article in another post about all corporate money going to Delaware, https://www.icij.org/inside-icij/2022/06/delaware-is-everywhere-how-a-little-known-tax-haven-made-the-rules-for-corporate-america/

It is less than ideal.
I only hope that it gets people used to the idea that you can leave a platform and the sky wont fall down. Sooner or later these guys will try a federated service and learn that protocols > platforms (in this case activitypub). -
I might be wrong (obligatory I am not a lawyer), but I think the laws either make it so that they can't be considered as an accomplice to a crime like that, or they're a corporation, which means that fines are really the only way they can be punished.
Either way, the arbitration clause, I believe, means that you can't take them to court like that in any situation. An out of court settlement is your only option, except in the case of a class action lawsuit, which let's them get a bulk deal on how much they have to pay out.

another trash platform its just matter of a time, use mastodon and fediverse to don't migrate again in few years
