@bob_zim @thomasfuchs That seems like the sort of deceptive trade practice that someone should mention to the FTC.

@adamshostack @thomasfuchs It’s entirely possible it was accidental. Maybe the person drafting the email didn’t know that the other person setting up the new ToS had set up a new email alias specifically for the arbitration opt-out.

If they try to argue later that writing to legal@ isn’t enough when the email said it was the way to notify them you opt out, *that* would cross the line into definite deception. Still, would be a long process to prove, especially with Republicans trying to gut the FTC. It’s easy enough today to send an email to both addresses and skip the challenge.
