> shouldn't it be incumbent on the platform hosting the contract to validate that they have the correct counterparty? If you had a "contract" with Uber it absolutely would work that way. If the thing they signed isn't notarized they could probably get it thrown out on that basis alone. All they need to do is have a entry in a database that says a checkbox was clicked. Courts seem to align themselves with institutions and give them leeway individuals don't recieve. You're just a guy, they are Uber®.
