To have a smartphone you have to agree to a number of EULAs which may include giving up rights you may otherwise have, agreeing to forced arbitration and other such nonsense. These EULAs are not decided on or designed democratically, but if you must sign one to attend school, has that EULA not become a form of law?
- dalke 3y agoTo publish a scientific paper many journals require an ORCID. The web site says "It’s free and only takes a minute, so register now!" which means they don't think people are going to read the ToS. I of course did. It takes more than a minute to read. It's pretty standard, except that it require binding arbitration in the US, with no ability to opt out. I signed it, despite being against binding arbitration, because I had no real choice, and because I felt the underlying intentions of ORCID are decently aligned with what I wanted, unlike the underlying intentions of Google. Plus, I know the editor of the journal I publish in, so if it gets to lawsuit time I think they will make an exception.
