It's one thing if it's something where the victim is voluntarily putting themselves at risk (like skydiving, or all the "so spicy you have to sign a waiver to eat it because it actually could kill you" things), but a wrongful death clause for a streaming service?? Under what pretext, that Goofy's gonna snap from all the jokes about him, Samara himself out of the TV and murder a random set of viewers???

At the very least there should be a limit to arbitration clauses to only cover what could be reasonably expected from the service, which does not include anaphylactic shock from a streaming service.

EDIT: I said anaphylactic shock from a normal dining service, but she didn't sign a waiver to eat, she signed a waiver to watch goddamn Ms Marvel
