This change will force its users into binding arbitration, which is a means to resolve disputes (such as a cybersecurity breach leaking your DNA data) outside of court.

That part doesn't matter as much. They have a legal department and a budget for outside council. You're just some schmuck who's been victimized. You want to fight them in court, it's going to require thousands of dollars just to get through the binding arbitration for you to challenge it, costing more money and more time.

The point is not to win in court, but to stall and obstruct.
