If you have a Pixel 3 phone, you should be aware that you can opt out of the built-in binding arbitration agreement. Boing Boing has a screen shot of the new Pixel phone's binding arbitration opt-out form. Pixel phone owners, insofar as they actually own the phone, are given a chance to avoid Google's attempt to get them to sign away your right to sue even if the company hurts, cheats, or kills them.

    Is there a jurisdiction where the Pixel 3 is sold that requires the parties to be given an opt-out choice from arbitration? And maybe Google figures 99.9%+ of everyone everywhere will ignore it to the same degree as any other EULA or fine print anyway?

    It could even be a bigger screw up.
    "See your honor, $little_guy even had the option to opt out, clearly printed in the TOS, yet he didn't, and now he is suing."
