It Could Have Been Tricky

 

June 29, 2025

 

The publisher of our newspaper had a class-action lawsuit filed against it for disclosing subscribers’ personal information to Facebook (publisher denies wrongdoing), and we may be eligible for part of the settlement.

 

As I am a firm believer in supporting the press, and the publisher is fighting off a takeover, I hate to cause them any more financial stress; but they shouldn’t have given people’s personal information without their permission, so if they did, I think that they should be soundly smacked.

 

A moral dilemma—will I or won’t I join the lawsuit?

 

Moral dilemma solved by learning that we would only get a small amount; and we’d probably have to give the same personal information to the law people.
