    Seriously? A youtube video that shows that the app store “appears to harvest information about your activity in real time”?

    Courts and judges do not deal with youtube videos that “appear to show something.” Allegations need to be proven. A youtube video is not proof of anything.

    This is nothing but the usual Apple Troll Boys in a tizzy about
    allegations. Anyone can file a suit about anything.

    As with most of these “hey let’s make Big Headlines and see if we can get a Big Payday by filing a nuisance suit against a Big Company”, this will go nowhere.

    Why is Apple so afraid to respond publicly to the public allegations then?

    where did you get the ludicrous idea they're afraid to respond?

    do you have even the slightest clue how lawsuits work?

    Why do you assume that Apple is “so afraid to respond publicly to the
    public allegations”? This thing was just filed a couple days ago. Do you think that Apple is “scared” of a youtube video?

    I would expect to hear something in the next few days, with a much more detailed response coming later. Will you then assume that Apple is lying
    when they deny/disprove these allegations?

    What if - like many of these types of suits - this gets dismissed for lack
    of evidence? Will that be “proof” that Apple had the judge in their pocket?

    "Dan" is the kind of guy who would have claimed that, had Apple
    responded by now, the response was clearly "just spin"...

    ...because it was too soon for it to be substantive.

    Yes, but gullible idiots and little trollbois with Apple hate boners eat
    the shit up. : )

    It'll definitely increase ad sales on the websites writing these
    clickbait articles though. "WINNING!!!" ; )
