As someone who did a trial Disney plus 4 years ago, is that TOS still valid if they came and murdered me in their restaurant?

I'm legit asking.

The mouse can now can legally assassinate you in your sleep.

You mean you didn't fully read the TOS?

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

I just copy and paste their TOS and ask ChatGPT and according to it, even if I'm no longer a subscriber, they can still enforce arbitration.

If you're asking whether the binding arbitration clause would apply to the murder case, then no. Homicide falls under criminal law, where the state is the plaintiff. The state didn't enter an agreement under the TOS. I suppose Disney could try to argue it applies if your legal estate filed a civil suit; in the real case it argued that the arbitration clause applied because the husband (who'd agreed to it) filed a civil suit as the plaintiff.

Instead, Disney would get away with it the old-fashioned way: because it's a rich corporation.

That's exactly what happened here. So the result of this suit will be your answer

All the dude asked for was $50,000. I'm sure the reputational damage was totally worth it.

Disney thought they were doing the ol anime glasses push moment. They didn't realize they were actually granny from squidbillies.

Gotta be honest, I have been hearing about this but have no idea what the deal is. Can someone enlighten me?

Edit: Nm I should just actually read the comments.

Lock your doors if you ever had Disney plus! 😱😱😱

I'm pretty sure that Disney can't outright kill anyone unless they came out of a Disney pod gasping and crying, "what am I?" to the universe before being given their prime corporate directive of being a kid's movie star, but I'm not a lawyer.
