I believe it is one of the roots of the problem. How is it even possible that getting justice in court in such a trivial case costs about three months of median income?
- pas 4y agoWell, it's really not straightforward to know what would be the outcome of such a lawsuit. Google's ToS is one thing but the main point is that random user uploading family photos is not a protected group, so Google refusing service is very much their right. The state usually cannot force otherwise.
- Aeolun 4y agoThe state should. Otherwise, what’s the point of having it.

- SergeAx 4y agoI get "How much suing is" doesn't imply winning the case, it is just a price of getting case to court.
