    This is such a misinformation it’s bothering me so much.

    No, Disney can’t kill your wife because you watch Disney+ and sign their TOS.

    Yes, Disney can make it looks like an accident and you can do nothing about it.

    Just don’t have wife, problem solve.

      Disney knows that part of the contract is unenforceable; they’re just daring someone to try and outspend them on legal fees and court costs. Everyone knows US courts are pretty light handed on fining corpos. Whatever costs the mouse incurs, they’ll make it up in at most a few days.

        All a court has to do is agree that the claim must go to arbitration. Then the private Disney arbiter can squash the claim.

          The part of the contract that is obviously unenforceable is the idea that signing up for a Disney+ trial a year ago forces you into binding arbitration over an issue at a Disney theme park today.

          Disney really shot themselves in the foot by even trying to claim this. They have a much, much stronger claim (morally still abhorrent, and legally still far from certain, but much better) with the fact that he had signed up for a Disney app in connection to the theme park itself. If they had stuck to only that claim they’d have an equal chance of legal success, and not gotten nearly as much bad press.

            That’s very easily enforceable. It’s bad. But there’s no difficulty actually imposing the rule.

            They have oodles of money and a highly favorable court composition to argue in. Forcing anyone who has every touched a Disney property into binding arbitration would be an enormous coup for their legal team. Meanwhile, they aren’t going to lose any money on this gambit.
