Noticed this update got pushed just now.

Edit: Seems they’re doing this to prevent costs from arbitration.

forced arbitration means you can't go through the normal court system if you want to sue them, instead resolving it through a private neutral third party.

and before, the waiver meant that you gave up your right to sue them in a class action lawsuit

getting rid of those is a massive W
