- AlexandrB 3y agoSeems the law critters at 23andMe have thought of that. From the Ars Technica coverage[1]: > The updated terms also explain a new process for mass arbitration. This requires that "if 25 or more demands for arbitration are filed relating to the same or similar subject matter and sharing common issues of law or fact, and counsel for the parties submitting the demands are the same or coordinated," this "will constitute a 'Mass Arbitration.'" Any mass arbitration dispute will be settled by the National Arbitration and Mediation, "a nationally recognized arbitration provider."
