Disney is not admitting that its forced arbitration claim was legally wrong. It's just "decided to waive [its] right to arbitration" in *this particular case*.

It's deliberately not letting that legal argument be tested in a court, which means it can try it again anytime in the future.

Until their "the arbitration clause applies to any and all dealings you have with us" argument is definitively struck down in a court of law, no one is safe.

Heads up! #CashApp probably had a big security breach they're about to announce, because they just released new terms of service with a draconian binding arbitration clause, and the only way to opt out is to fill out a specific form on paper and pay to send it to them via postal mail.
Personally, I'm just going to delete my account.
