This lawyer, Liss-Riordan, must be going crazy trying to keep up with Twitter's constant efforts to duck responsibility. But good for her, I hope she keeps at it.

Forced arbitration should just be illegal. We've all agreed to it by signing at least one tech company's TOS, but it is so scummy. Arbitration, as a service, should still be available, but it should be entirely optional for both parties. As it stands, it's just a means for rich corporations to get the upper hand in legal disagreements.
