According to The Daily Dot, "Patreon’s previous terms of service required claims to be submitted to arbitration, like Benjamin’s $3.5 million cause of action. An update to its terms of service that went into effect on Jan. 1 both prohibits users from filing claims based on the platform kicking off someone else and requires any who do so to pay the company’s attorney’s fees and costs, court documents state... Thus, if Patreon wins the suit, Benjamin’s fans could be on the hook for a significant sum..." According to the lawyer representing most of the plaintiffs, Patreon changed these terms after being notified of their intent to file a claim in arbitration. On July 29, 2020, a judge on the Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco denied Patreon's request for a preliminary injunction in the case. Benjamin's suit led to some larger implications for the platform. On January 1, a few days prior to the start of the suit, Patreon announced a change to its terms of service to disallow suits based on bans from the site and to require that The suit opened Patreon to additional lawsuits from other right-leaning personalities it had banned, with YouTubers Lauren Southern and Sargon of Akkad preparing for arbitration in early August. | In March 2008, he and Christina Ricci announced they were engaged, but they ended their engagement two months later.
