Interesting how you also make the tortured argument that privacy laws create victims.
- dawnbreez 5y agoI am making the argument that a company that already has lawyers on retainer for this occasion is not suffering the same harm that someone who does not have a lawyer on retainer does. Similarly, someone who can't afford a lawyer at all is disproportionately likely to be harmed compared to a company that has competent legal staff. Also, "privacy laws create victims" is--to use your own phrase--a very tortured version of what's going on here. The people affected by this study were threatened with legal action. That is what they are victims of. Regardless of what law was used as an excuse, threatening someone with frivolous legal action is as bad as threatening someone with SWATting.
