I doubt that the contracts you work with are non-negotiable form contracts, so your personal experience is irrelevant to this discussion.
Binding arbitration clauses remove the customer's right to file a lawsuit. Instead, the case is referred to an "impartial arbiter" who decides in favour of the company 99% of the times, because they are the ones that pay him.
Google is penalizing these people who had their phones shipped to another state to avoid taxes yet Google ships their earnings to other countries to do the same thing.
Might (or in this case, big lobbying budget) makes right.

Computer science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers. It is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information. An alternate, more succinct definition of computer science is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.
Do we condone the true bad actors? No, we put them in jail with the rest of the criminals
Usually we send them on vacation (aka "suspended with pay") then close the cases against them "for lack of public interest".
I understand your need to spew ad hominem attacks, trying to denigrate others is always easier than dealing with your own inadequacy. Please continue, you are highly entertaining.
The next time you hear a window in your house shatter at 2am, try calling the fire department and let me know how that works out for you.
Or you could ask Carolyn Warren, Joan Taliaferro and Miriam Douglas how calling 911 has worked out for them.
While it is true that there are a few officers that deserve jail time (and the do get it most of the time) 99.99% of the LEOs our there are the good guys.
No, they are not.
Because if they were, they would be fighting nail and tooth to get the 0.01% off the force and behind bars, where they belong.
As things are, there are three kinds of cops: 1. Dirty 2. Complicit 3. On the way out
If you are looking for a group to fawn over, I suggest that volunteer firefighters are much more worthy of your respect.
I admit that I am an Android noob, but when I searched about rooting my Nexus 5, I got the impression that doing so will factory reset my device, and I will lose some of my data unless I backed it up first. Except that the even the best backup apps would not back up everything, unless the phone is already rooted...
It's also a fact that the same genes regulating skin color also control aggressiveness and intelligence. Both sides like to deny these facts, proven by genetics research.
When you violate a law, no matter how minor, and are caught doing that, there are usually consequences -- a fine, jail time, etc. But, when "the government" violates "the highest law of the land", who is held accountable?

If "filing documents and other case-related expenses", excluding lawyer's time costs $26,831.55 then I weep for the so called "justice" system.

Next step: void binding arbitration clauses.

One is legal and one isnt. Pay ur damn sales tax.
Google is not a part of the legal system.
Since when was it OK to break the spirit of the law? Is this some post-Trump perspective where tax avoidance is a virtue?
Since lawyers and tax accountants were invented.
Quite a number of Heinlein's novels are like that.

Brought to you by a company that for almost a decade ignores its users' please to make the "avoid tolls" option in its navigation app sticky.
I think the Wachowskis were on to something.

What next? Physicists weighing in on Hillary's email server?
Because the Internet Archive applies robots.txt rules retroactively.
... but excluding Nexus 5, which does not get an update to Android 7 even though its hardware is perfectly capable of running it.
Ain't planned obsolescence grand?
So now asking that police follow the law is "escalating"?
Chemically speaking, yes.
The mail scanning described in the article did not have sexual relations with that woman.

FTFY. The willingness of the SCOTUS to endorse arbitration clauses is another example.
All puns aside, I think the the public have shown a shocking degree of unwillingness in funding the politicians.
