All supposed "rights" are ones that restrict the behavior of government. It does not restrict the behavior of a private corporation. Once you privatize something, the protection of god given rights no longer applies.
When everything is privatized under libertarian philosophy, what basic rights do you have left other than the power of money?

It would seem simpler to assume that the companies that include binding arbitration in their contracts are simply making what they believe to be a good move. Further, unless the corporate executives or lawyers come out as libertarians, then I think it is putting thoughts into their heads to treat this issue as anything other than an apolitical, pragmatic move.
