It's crazy "not the onion" territory.
Thing is, Disney wins a lot of lawsuits. What if they actually win this, especially in a higher court? Every tech company in the US would shove this into their TOS and basically be immune to lawsuits like this...
In my fantasy timeline this is forced to go to arbitration but the arbiter actually is a human being who is so outraged at the circumstances that they award the entire net worth of the Disney corporation as damages in a legally binding non-appealable decision.
In reality, the arbiter is a private official who is being paid by the corporation. It doesn't seem great for business if they side against them...
This is true, but it wouldn't actually be the first time that an arbiter gave an unfavorable result to its employer: https://youtu.be/u9Jmi9BOBNA?si=mOEPKERF8Z8YFrOi&t=8m38s
