Indeed implements arbitration

Indeed emailed me on 3 September 2025 with details that they changed their terms of service.  This is what their email said:

“Hello,
We’re emailing you about important updates to our Terms of Service (“Terms”)[4].
*We encourage you to read our updated Terms in full.* Here are some key updates for your convenience:
* *Dispute Resolution Updates for users located in the United States:*
* *We’ve included important dispute resolution provisions that govern how to resolve disputes between you and Indeed, and between you and other Indeed users.*
* *Notably, the Terms include an agreement to arbitrate, with limited exceptions. This means that you agree to resolve any past, present, and future disputes concerning Indeed’s services individually, via binding arbitration before an arbitrator, and not through litigation in court with a jury.*
* *In the Terms, you can also find information about the process, eligibility, and deadline for opting-out of arbitration, if you so choose.*
* Improved Structure and Clarity: We’ve reorganized our Terms to make them easier to read and understand.
Your continued use of our Site and services means you agree to our updated Terms. To view and exercise your personal data rights, visit this section of our Privacy Policy[5].
Thank you for using Indeed!”

No doubt this is because the Supreme Court of the United States made it equally possible for Caucasians to sue for discrimination and they want to block the class action lawsuits they likely deserve. I have not logged in since that date, since I do not accept an arbitration agreement with them.  Agreeing to have no class action with a primary gatekeeper to employment is not a wise decision.  Countless people were part of class actions against discriminators such as American Freight and others.

It is not my intent to dwell on the past.  This is here as a mile marker.
