louis rossmann on his way to willfully lie to his viewers

so far 90 thousand viewers and counting

@charlotte what’s he done this time

@tauon he is saying that a forced arbitrary that has been in effect continuously since at least 2020 is brand new and in response to the recent data breach

@charlotte @tauon its surprising. by the time you process his previous bs he’s done 4 new things.

@tauon (i say at least because that is the most easily verifiable number. i remember it already being in effect when the game store was launched all those years ago)

@charlotte @tauon 2018
it's been there since 2018.

the 2025 change rewrote the entire section but no rights changed.

> ‍Opt-out. You can decline this Agreement to Arbitrate–and no other provision of these terms–by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of September 29, 2025 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs.

also we're still within the opt out date for the rewrite.

@ada @tauon that sounds about the same as i remembered sans the date

@charlotte @tauon just skimmed through it, the only changes i can tell between the March and September revisions is:

Canadian citizens are now now also included in arbitration where it was just U.S. citizens and they added a fuck load more definitions where there were not previously.

Probably missing a lot of tiny details, but it's basically the same.

@charlotte @tauon

old:

‍Arbitration costs. AAA sets forth fees for its services, which are available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer-Fee_Schedule.pdf. If Discord is the party initiating an arbitration against you, Discord will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including the entire filing fee. If you initiate an arbitration against Discord, you will be responsible for the first $100 toward the nonrefundable Initial Filing Fee, unless the arbitrator determines that you are unable to pay, in which case Discord will pay the entire filing fee.

new:

‍Arbitration Costs. ADR Services and NAM set forth fees for their services, which are available from each provider. If Discord is the Party initiating an arbitration against you, Discord will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including the entire filing fee. If you initiate an arbitration against Discord, costs will be determined in accordance with the Rules for the applicable arbitration provider, to the extent allowed by law. In all arbitrations, unless otherwise required by law or the arbitration provider’s rules, you are responsible for all other additional arbitration costs incurred, including attorney’s fees and expert witness costs.

discord now seems to eat the initial arbitration costs regardless of which side starts it.

there’s tonnes of tiny detail changes like this but it’s essentially the same lmao

@charlotte @tauon lol the pdf link is a 404
