> Opting out of the waiver is a long winded process of mailing a form.

I freaking hate tactics like this, so I am offering to go through the mailing process for anyone who fills out the form at https://unarbitrate.org/. I'll pay to mail it, just because I hate this sort of thing. If you don't trust me with your data, the site also provides a way to print it and mail it yourself. But whatever it takes, I encourage everyone to opt out of this; you have nothing to gain by giving up these rights.

Let me know if you'd like a contribution to cover postage for people.

Thanks, I appreciate the support! I'll let you know if it comes to that; so far I have some money set aside and I should be able to keep costs under control by bundling them into one envelope.

It's going to take more than an envelope, if your site gains legs. There is also the expense of printing and shipping. Paper is heavy. You mentioned the idea of delivering them in person, you may wish to get some press and legal council.

Reach out, should you need financial assistance.

Hell of a thing to do, putting your money where your convictions are.

Thank you so much for doing this! I have one question though: how do I get my Equifax username?

No, I don't have one either. Where do I find it?
