Appreciated your presentation at the ALA conference. I formerly worked for a class action focused firm. One issue we’d come across is forced arbitration clauses used by many tech companies. I’ve been considering how DAO’s could possibly be used as a strategy for dealing with consumer protection where forced arbitration clauses are in place. Have you heard of this occurring?
LikeLike
Thanks for the kind words! It’s a great question, and still early days on this one. When a DAO is more centralized, i.e. It was just started and that necessitates a few primary actors, I feel like the traditional laws apply well. However, in time as some become truly decentralized, with potentially millions of token holders, that does feel different. I’ve not seen any actions in this latter scenario. The obvious reason being how would this even apply in a reasonable way.
It’s an interesting area worth pursuing, and if you see a new path forward, please feel free to share.
