More and more businesses are trying (as gets discussed here from time to time) to force you to 'agree' to private arbitration and give up your right to sue, including class actions suits. You might be able to laboriously opt-out, but it hard to just say 'I won't use those services' because it almost universal.
- seemslegit 7y agoThis isn't about lack of ability to petition the courts, it's about the courts having been petitioned many times and deciding that yes, far more essential businesses than airbnb can in general ban you with no explanation or recourse. In such case arbitration might actually be in the users favour as it might force disclosure of the considerations leading to the ban.
