Forced arbitration?

I'm surprised that I haven't seen anything here about this yet. Companies are now redefining their "terms of service" (using the term loosely) such that by downloading a coupon, "like"-ing them on Facebook, or simply purchasing their product, you are binding yourself to forced arbitration in the case where you have a legal issue with the product or company.
