    This is America

    I think that’s a very apt summary of the case. It’s our super-lotto.

    Everyone knows(like even my elderly mom) that Google, FB, etc follow you everywhere and that they use that data. I would have no doubt those sites knew she was disabled long before she visited the DMV site. It looks like she just found a way to monetize it.

      Yeah, like we don’t even blink when someone’s Google searches before a crime are brought up in a trial…

      Like, they don’t have a time machine to go check once your caught.

      They can get it, because they’re saving everyone’s.

      We don’t have a real left wing party to fight for us on this stuff. Just two pro-corporate parties constantly after donations.

      We need people to stop just accepting this is how it has to be, it’s not like this in every country.

      And lawsuits like this get us talking about it at least.
