And that's a good thing. We've learned that letting people say some pretty awful things and tack on "lol" at the end didn't actually do a lot of good stuff for society.
And it's certainly not something a T&S team can work around.

I /still/ see so many people going down rabbit holes over whether or not the T&S team should have recognized the quote.
That's so irrelevant. Regardless, phrasing it the way she did made it the kind of violent rhetoric that the T&S team didn't want on here.
This isn't the Bad Old Days of Twitter.

At my favorite breakfast place, when I walk in, they serve me my decaf coffee when they come to take my order, and taking my order is just "You having the same?" because I always do. I love it.

Thank you, Stephan. I've gotten a few knocks! Trying to chill a little before I answer any, but I really appreciate the thoughts.

Yeah. Like, I get what the court is actually saying here, but I think it made a damn mess of it.

![circumstances.” Popa, 153 F.4th at 792. But current Ninth Circuit precedent “requires a plaintiff to demonstrate more than just a statutory violation when evaluating whether a plaintiff has alleged a concrete injury.” Id. at 793. Rodriguez’s failure to demonstrate anything more than an alleged statutory violation is consequently fatal to her claim. See id.
Even if Rodriguez had done more, the Court finds that Rodriguez lacks a privacy interest in the data at issue. Again, the collected data consists of Rodriguez’s “IP address, [her computer’s] operating system name, operating system version number, browser name, browser version number, browser language, screen resolution, geolocation data, email address, mobile ad IDs, embedded social media identities, customer and/or loyalty IDs, cookies and device signature – as well as the connections between them.” (Doc. No. 10 ¶156.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tuxabc7yzpilgn6xxzurmln7/bafkreihjwp2h7svrtierkesafbjiidcmd7l7hjhcc57pxzylua4vjk7rmi@jpeg)

Thank you so much, Melanie — I really appreciate that from you! Looking forward to however much rest as I can make my brain accept, and looking forward to the next challenge to come.

Thank you, that's good to know. I've done the consulting / solo thing in the past, and I already have some consulting / advising work lined up.
But really, I enjoy leading privacy teams. I enjoy building programs. I'm looking for CPO / head of privacy roles...maybe GC at a privacy-forward company.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. It'll be a weird stretch, but I think it'll be okay!
