They can't force arbitration on you. If eg Uber runs you over or bumps your car, you have no contractual relationship with them, and thus they can't force arbitration on you. That's why they have to write the arbitrary clause into their ToS that they need you to agree on. No forced arbitration. Of course, if you don't agree with the ToS, Uber is also not forced to transport you. But that's fair enough. | ||

Letting entities that hold the vast majority of the leverage and financial/legal/political power in a contract opt out of the legal system and pick an alternative with a financial incentive to side with them is perhaps "fair" to you, but a lot of people would disagree on the "enough" part. | ||

Have you ever ridden an Uber? Then yes, they absolutely can. You agreed to it when you installed the app. | ||

No, that's not fair enough. It's a very one sided contract where one party has all the power. | ||
