Noticed this update got pushed just now.

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

    What does it mean? Also, does it affect everyone or just the US; because I did not see a popup about it in the EU.

      It means that the key to getting a company to ditch arbitration is for enough people to win individual arbitration cases. There's arbitration lawyers who hedge their whole careers on arbitration payouts

      Forced arbitration is already unenforceable in the EU, so it doesn't change anything for you. It just makes it so it works for the rest of the world the same way it already did for you.
