As others have said, the true purpose of the corporate media hyping (and often distorting) lawsuits like these is to distract from the fact that corporations are by far the most costly, litigious monsters out there. They are the problem… but, look over there!!
The corporate media loves to turn us against each other. Businesses are more litigious than consumers. Don’t let them fool you.
Unfortunately, a lot of the damage has already been done and the narrative has been set. Thank you, boingboing, for at least trying to stop the flood of FUD. Maybe after a couple more decades more Americans will get the memo…
