I find it surprising that apparently she's suing Apple not only for dumping toxic chemicals into the air directly next to her apartment, but also for an unrelated case of Apple's security videotaping the women's toilet rooms. That chemical court case seems very strong to me, with multiple indipendent parties having measured the gas in the air. (Edit: and multiple government agencies reporting chemical accidents at Apple) So it doesn't seem like she's trigger happy to sue, which would imply that there might also be merit in her other case. Good thing Apple never had "don't be evil" as their slogan ;)

I recognized her name when this story dropped. She’s been on an Apple vendetta for some time.

  At what point does legitimate whistleblowing become a vendetta?

  People can be right and on a vendetta at the same time. The only thing relevant for this heading is: does the EPA report point at an actual problem?

      This does not seem to align with what the report states. The report lists 19 potential violations.
      - PROgrammerTHREE 2y ago
        19 potential violations, most of which were mislabeled and unlabeled things or poor storage habits and addressed (meaning they aren't violations). The rest of it was things being managed under state/local rules that should have been managed under federal rules which Apple still has time to fix and make them not violations.

        I do not think it is fair/honest to focus on the mundane findings, then use that to debase the entire report.

        I do not think that is reasonable to believe that because a report has some mundane findings that it indicates that the whole report should be dismissed.
