In the US, we need collective action by way of class action lawsuits. Unfortunately, almost all terms of service now require you tp waive that right.

The change needed is a law that prevents waiving the right to class action. Such a law would be considered highly unfavorable to business and would not pass under a Republican majority/presidency. Consider who you vote for accordingly.

Everything going on with Patreon's arbitration mess is in opposition to your post. Maybe the world isn't as black and white as you think.

It appears you are misinformed, both about what I think, and the import of the Patreon case. The fact that Patreon botched their arbitration clause, allowing folks to sue individually a possibly bankrupt Patreon, is striking evidence of how powerful a shield arbitration provides. A shield which I don’t believe corporations deserve.
