I understand. I just… know so many people who would like to speak up about ridiculously abusive practices and have the threat of lawsuits funded by some of the world’s richest people hanging over them.

And I think that’s awful. Full stop.
The difficulty I was trying to articulate comes from trying to figure out a way to prevent the abuse of provisions that are integral to dispute resolution when they aren’t abused.
It wasn’t my intent to invalidate the experience of those who have suffered.

The effect of this stuff does not happen purely by way of what it technically legally does or doesn’t mean if anybody litigates it. It’s way more pernicious than that.
