Fucking bonkers. Between this an McD’s changing their ToS to say using their app waives any right to non-arbitration dispute, something needs to be done about companies trying to effectively write new laws into their ToS. This shit is beyond egregious

They can write anything they want in a TOS, doesn’t mean it’s legally enforceable.

Bingo! It’s written in a “cover my ass” but that ass can get kicked by the courts.

PlainSimpleGarak@lemm.ee · 2 months ago

Exactly. Anyone can put anything they want into a terms of service/contract. Doesn’t mean it’ll hold up in court.

Good luck getting it thrown out, that’ll be an expensive legal battle even if you do win.

No satire? Guess anything on the internet is out of the question then.

Engaging or providing subjective negative reviews

What do they think a review is?! If they wanted an advertisement, buy an ad spot on Google ya cheap bastards.

Vespair@lemm.ee · 2 months ago

Because they want the benefits of advertising with the power of word-of-mouth, all at the expense of free.

That they think they can get away with it is bananas to me.
