By buying it or using the app for it, he's probably agreed to some binding arbitration BS along with some other things that would make a lawsuit practically impossible.

Arbitration just means you don't go to trial in front of a jury. You can still sue, the claim just goes to an arbitor to find an agreement. Most lawsuits end in out of court settlements anyway.

The arbiter is bought and paid for by Samsung. I wonder what the outcome will be.

If bias is obvious, and it constitutes fraud, a decision in arbitration can be vacated by courts.

If bias is clear during proceedings, the arbitrator can be challenged, then a new independent arbiter can be selected.

While its bullshit that this kind of stuff gets shoved into EULAs, its not the end of things in terms of getting an appropriate outcome.

If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Cyberpunk characteristics include:
