> 1) going after low hanging fruit first (Facebook, Google, Apple, etc) I say as a strategy they don't go after those but the middle tier who is less able to put up a fight legally. Perhaps you remember how long it took the Justice Department to fight Microsoft in the 90's. These large corporations have a great deal of brains and legal muscle. It's hard to believe that they will be the initial targets (although anything is possible). The 2nd tier is more likely the ones that will have issues (if any). Most companies aren't even close to this they are probably 7 or 10th tier targets. Some (small company with nominal user base) aren't even going to get noticed. That's the reality. Powerful law firms. Connected people. Even access to powerful US politicians. What's the chance? (Look at what is happening with ZTE now in China). To big to fail. This is not Monsanto dumping chemicals or asbestos type harm anyway. It's like spam (but not because major companies are not abusing that typically). You can do what you want as long as you are not operating an industrial strength spam machine. The emails that you send to your customers for whatever reason w/o even explicit approval will not get you into hot water (sure anything is possible but highly unlikely).
