Report: ‘Liking' a company on Facebook means you can't sue it [View all]
Apr 17, 2014
If you click ‘Like’ on your favorite brands or companies on Facebook, you could be signing up for more than you bargained for.
That’s because General Mills, the maker of cereals like Cheerios and Chex, announced Tuesday a new policy that states any customers who “Like” its products on Facebook and other social media sites also give up legal rights.
The New York Times first reported on the policy change, which basically states, if you get social with a company online, you can’t take it to court.
“We’ve updated our privacy policy,” General Mills wrote in a bar across the top of its home page earlier this week. “Please note we also have new legal terms which require all disputes related to the purchase or use of any General Mills product or service to be resolved through binding arbitration.”
