Arizona's top legal officer just dropped a lawsuit against that massive online shopping platform everyone's been talking about—you know, the one flooding your feed with $3 gadgets. Kris Mayes isn't playing around, alleging the company's been straight-up stealing user data.
What's wild is how this ties into broader conversations happening in Web3 circles. While crypto folks champion decentralized data ownership, traditional e-commerce giants are getting heat for doing the exact opposite—vacuuming up personal info without proper consent.
This legal move could set precedent for how authorities handle data privacy violations moving forward. Makes you wonder if centralized platforms will face more scrutiny as people wake up to who really controls their information.

Ngl, this is what we've been talking about. The trap of decentralized data ownership in web3 should have been popularized long ago, but these traditional big companies are still playing the same old tricks from 20 years ago.

ngl, finally someone dares to take on that giant. Data dealers are about to get what they deserve.
Web3 folks are watching—doesn’t this distributed data ownership narrative make perfect sense?
Centralized really deserves to be beaten down, wake up everyone.
It’s long overdue for someone to stand up for data privacy, or else we’re all just being exploited.
With this precedent, other platforms must be panicking. Sooner or later, they’ll all face the same scrutiny.

lol It's about time to manage these platforms, they're like data vampires
---
Web3 has been talking about this for a while, and only now are people getting serious about it
---
It's nicely referred to as data ownership, but in reality, your privacy is only worth a few bucks
---
Thinking about all those random recommended products... feels like they see right through me
---
If we win this case, will anything change? I've already given up
---
Centralized platform deserves to die, but we have nowhere else to go
---
Is it true? Will there really be sanctions this time or is it just a small fine for show
---
Wait, how is this different from on-chain data ownership... we can't escape the fate of being collected

Back again? These centralized people really deserve to die; there’s nothing good about data privacy. I’ve said it before, self-managed data is the way to go, and now someone is finally taking it seriously.
