The issue is the consumer here doesn’t want to be forced into arbitration.

There is legislation proposed to end forced arbitration in consumer contracts like ToS.

Sadly, this bill has been around since 2007, introduced by the very same Hank Johnson! I would love if Congress would put an end to the forced-arbitration bullshit that so obviously does an end-run around your 7th amendment rights and makes a farce of informed consent, but alas, they couldn't even get it through when Democrats held the presidency, the house, and 60 seats in the senate.


It's not a bipartisan bill so I would be skeptical on it's ability get signed into law.
