- contriban 5y agoThat doesn’t sound realistic. Sketchy companies probably are not in your country, so good luck with those lawsuits. Second, listing your name in a list of “people with black hair” when it’s easily verifiable you have black hair isn’t a valid lawsuit. As long as the research doesn’t allude that every extension is malicious, then it’s covered. While maybe it doesn’t belong in the research itself, someone could publish it in a separate blog post or gist.
