The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that collected data about how the car had been driven and promised feedback and digital badges for good driving.

      I just bought a dryer and it had a piece of paper taped to it that said “By using this appliance you agree to have all disputes handled by third-party arbitration by the party of our choice.”

      For a fucking dryer.

          1, you may be able to opt out within certain purchase time depending on product, company, etc.

          1. There is a suit in CA or somewhere currently challenging the ability of appliance company to prove the notice was provided or accepted. Insane fucking companies.
