Michael,
Thank you. I’m hope I’m not the only one disgusted by this. It’s not even a repayment of the money they made from selling our information.
I’m shocked that such a low settlement would be reached. But more than anything, I’m concerned that there’s very little talk about the ramifications of our data being sold and how this type of abuse will be prevented from happening again.
