Do leftist tech Giants need some comeuppance? Yes.
Is this the way to do it, through the courts? No.
The proper way is through competition.
Invasion of privacy, particularly in cahoots with Intelligence agencies, cannot be fixed by competition.

If they’re breaking the law collecting biometric information, making it public and doing so without consent it is a legal matter. Period.
I had this argument 5+ years ago with someone about why I was on FB less than 6 months 10 years ago. I figured out their business model. If you can’t tell what a company’s product is, you’re the product.
It’s one thing to voluntarily give up your name, location, date of birth and everything you do all day and who you do it with. That’s your own stupid fault.
However just because I take a group photo at a family, work or event gathering doesn’t mean I expect to be biometrically identified by a company I gave no consent to and had my image used without my permission.
People are constantly offended when I ask if they’re going to be posting photos to Facebook or Instagram before they take them and if the answer is yes, I decline to participate.
