Two days ago they sent an update to their TOS that they will require arbitration and to reply to their legal department to "opt out".

I got the email from 23 and me about changing their terms of service as well (wordy for search engine optimization). I opted out of the change

Probably not legal, but if it doesn't get challenged...
