Force the companies to respond to the class actions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] DR_Hero@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago Collective mass arbitration is my favorite counter to this tactic, and is dramatically more costly for the company than a class action lawsuit. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/business/arbitration-overload.html A lot of companies got spooked a few years back and walked back their arbitration agreements. I wonder what changed for companies to decide it's worth it again. Maybe the lack of discovery in the arbitration process even with higher costs? permalink fedilink source parent [–] catloaf@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago You can't "just start" a class action suit.
