Los Angeles City Attorney Files Lawsuit Against Weather Channel App Owner

admin · 2019-01-05T12:54:49+0000

Source. So what is The Weather Company being accused of? According to the lawsuit... For years, the company "deceptively used its Weather Channel App to amass its users' private, personal, geolocation data...all the while leading users to believe that their data will only be used to provide them with 'personalized local weather data, alerts and weather forecasts.'" "TWC has then profited from that data, using it and monetizing it for purposes entirely unrelated to weather or the Weather Channel App." FYI, people really like checking the weather. The app has 45 million monthly active users. For its part, The Weather Company (owned by IBM) said its data collection has always been kosher and will defend its disclosures "vigorously." Zoom out: File this case within the broader debate of how tech companies collect, use, and monetize the personal data you choose to share with them.

  From an individual who seems unapologetically self-absorbed, I must inform you that your perspective carries little significance. Therefore, feel free to express yourself vehemently and indulge in immature behavior. Keep in mind that God is aware of your intricate malicious intentions. Remember, the consequences are a result of your own actions, leaving no one else to hold accountable but you.

  … and donchew forget now … the GB now allows Sisters to come to meetings and go out in field service in slacks or Mumus. Or slacks AND Mumus, if poundage appropriate. Did I ever mention I once dated a Sister that made Mumus out of parachutes? She was an Opera singer, and had a UN diplomatic passport. She was on “speed”, couldn’t blink, and typed 600 words a minute with 100% errors. Occasionally she would get lipstick in her eyebrows.

  In my perspective, when the Smithsonian Magazine covers a topic, I am inclined to trust their expertise. As for the shadows here, I see no benefit in entertaining irrational ideas from others. Let them hold onto their own beliefs. We shouldn't further enable their self-deception and misleading of the public.

  Hey Self! 🤣I came across this interesting conspiracy theory. There are scholars who firmly believe in the authenticity of those artifacts. I value having conversations with myself. The suggestion of a mentally ill person has led to the most obscure manifestation of a group of sorrowful individuals. 😁
