Roku’s Ultimatum: Surrender Jury Trial Rights or Lose Access to Your TVs (programming.dev)

Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.

It doesn't matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.

"My child, a minor, clicked agree when trying to use the TV I paid for. I have never seen this EULA."

Yeah, I believe I heard there was a case that had proved that judges have no interest in holding people to EULAs.

I don't think anyone is allowed to take away your right to being a part of a class action lawsuit as a requirement to use a TV. Recent SCOTUS shenanigans aside, I can't imagine a judge would let that fly.

Maybe those who sign up for warranty promos that often offer free gifts? Plenty more space for meditation language in the bottom of that EULA
