Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

They've definitely crunched the numbers and figured out this method is cheaper than a settlement, and in a country like the US, they'll definitely get away with it.
No numbers...they would easily spend 4x as much to defend their arbitration bullshit then actually pay out the guys demands.
It's a dick waving contest and Disney wants the world to see their dick. Nothing more.
I just see them as dicks now. Well... more then before that is.
Apparently the same clause is in the Disney account terms used to buy the tickets to the park
Which would hold more water than the clause in the Disney+ terms (that articles on the subject focus on way too much just for clickbait)
But anyway, it's really insensitive from Disney to try to arbitrate such a tragic incident.
the restaurant was not in a ticketed park, it was in Disney Springs which is a freely accessible public area

Oh, I wasn't aware of this since the BBC article does not mention it. Then Disney's attempt to arbitrate based on the account terms barely holds water.
