Text in the post: Says here an online service I have used is updating their privacy terms. No doubt to better protect me, the user
"We were doing some shady shit with your data and the world caught up to this so we now found a new loophole and thus had to update our privacy terms. Love and kisses."
Samsung says I have to accept their privacy policy to continue using my phone. I have ignored that push message for like 4 years out of pure spite... I wonder what would happen if I did end up in court for some reason. I assume their lawyers would just argue that me using the phone is accepting the policy, whether I have read the policy or not.
If it's a free service it's definitely not in your favor. If it's a pair service, still most likely not in your favor.
I always remember that case where someone got injured at Disneyland and part of their Disney plus subscription is an agreement they can't sue Disney.
IIRC they died(?) due to allergens in food that was supposed to be allergen free and due to their D+ subscription they waived their rights to sue (bullshit)
Definitely more fucked than I remembered.
That's what Disney lawyers argued. I don't think it actually worked out for them, but I may be wrong.
Yeah it didn't work, everyone saw through the bullshit. They tried to settle through arbitration and keep it out of court. But that's because Disney lawyers are scum and will do anything to find a loophole to exploit. Also think they were more concerned about the publicity and why they wanted it settled silently.
The ultimate settlement at court was assumed to be pathetic though for killing someone. Think final amount wasn't publicized, but the publicized settlement record claimed the husband was seeking 50k. But I guess it can settle for higher and that was just a formality amount?
Anyhow they probably threw chump change at him and a lifetime membership of Disney+ and discounts at the parks. Certainly bundled with a NDA agreement to not disclose the settlement agreement or they'd claw it back.
Any lawyer who would willing go into a court room and argue that is literal human garbage.
I hope not, that's sickeningly evil. God forbid you just do the right thing...
Well, shareholders, but close enough.
That is so fucked up. The family should sue to have the terms stricken from the agreement and then sue for killing their person. Some jurisdictions don't allow bullshit in the T&Cs like that.
But also Disney has a whole department of the most expensive lawyers in the world, so they'll probably have to find a real heavy-hitter who does pro bono work.
Or a family member who doesn't have D+ could sue...
Injured? IIRC the person died.
That's what they get for not pirating.
My lawyer advised me to pirate media to reduce my legal exposure. Just kidding... for now.
No, it's good advice.
It's crazy that forced arbitration is legal in the US.
Yes, just like HR is there for employees.
I have altered the deal. Pray I don't alter it further.
This deal is getting worse all the time...
Cloud services in a nutshell.
That actually is a regular occurrence when their previous terms are judged to be illegal.
That's still ultimately looking out for themselves

The same thing with how a "New and Improved" product is never improved for the benefit of us. It's improving their bottom line.
It's absolutely for your benefit! Oh, wait, did you say user? I thought shareholder. No, you can get in line for the rectal probing with everyone else.
