I honestly don’t know. True or not, though, it’s an interesting idea!
Yeah. What the hell were the plaintiffs supposed to do? How do you get proof of something like this? Break into an exec’s office? Hack an auto manufacturer’s network?
Oh, wait a sec. Evidence that’s acquired illegally generally isn’t admissible. So even those ridiculous plans wouldn’t work. I guess the best we can do is wait until the harm is done, and then hope there’s a sloppy enough paper trail to unequivocally prove exactly who did it.
Apparently, that’s MUCH better than using some common sense.
An auto manufacturer, who has no business snooping on your texts in the first place, should not have permission to keep copies of them. Ever. It’s an absurdly obvious question. The plaintiffs shouldn’t have to prove they’ve been harmed. The auto manufacturers should have to prove that their intentions benefit all customers, AND that those benefits outweigh the risks.
And no, advertising that’s specifically targeted at my perceived needs and interests doesn’t count as a “benefit”. Sorry not sorry.
I’m going to assume this judge hasn’t been unduly influenced.
This looks like a classic case of following the letter of the law, while ignoring the spirit of the law. The law seems like it’s intended to punish harmful violations of privacy. No reasonable person can conclude that the sale of tens (or hundreds) of thousands of people’s private data is entirely harmless, but that’s what this judge did.
US courts often take “reasonable” assumptions into account when making judgments or issuing sentences. Just because the plaintiffs couldn’t actually prove specific damage is no reason to assume it didn’t/won’t happen.
To me, it should only “matter” for technical reasons - to help find the root of the problem and fix it at the source. If your roof is leaking, then fix the roof. Don’t become an expert on where to place the buckets.
You’re right, though. It doesn’t matter in terms of excusing or justifying anything. It shouldn’t have been allowed to happen in the first place.
Something as simple and obvious as this makes me wonder what other hidden biases are just waiting to be discovered.
I missed this! Thank you very much!

I have no idea who those two guys in the background are, but I feel sorry for them anyway just because they’re there.
I wasn’t expecting the devs to respond that quickly 😂
I almost exclusively use Memmy on my iPad, so I didn’t notice this for a while.
Sometimes I get the “submit logs” screen. I dutifully click the link to submit the logs. I thought I was helping. Then, the other day, Memmy crashed when I was using it on my phone instead of my iPad. I clicked “submit logs” as usual… and my phone actually seemed like it was doing something. I’ve never noticed that on my iPad.
That made me wonder - is the Submit Logs feature on iPad just much more subtle, or is it actually broken?
I’ll be happy to provide specifics about my hardware/software upon request.
