Okay, so, let me tell you about this whole MLB TV lawsuit thing I got caught up in. It all started when I noticed something weird. I’m a huge baseball fan, right? I’ve got an * subscription, watch games all the time. Then, I start seeing these super-specific ads on Facebook, like, eerily specific. It felt like Facebook knew exactly what games I was watching, and when.
At first, I brushed it off. But it kept happening, and it started to creep me out. So, I did what any normal person would do – I started digging around the internet.
Turns out, I wasn’t the only one. I found some forum posts and articles talking about this Bryan Henry guy in California. He’s also an * subscriber and he’s filed a lawsuit against them. Apparently, he’s claiming that * was sharing our viewing information with Facebook without our permission. Something like, they were giving our data to Meta Platforms, and for what reason? I thought it was just me or I am being paranoid but no, I was right!
I read through the lawsuit, it’s like 23 pages long, and it’s full of legal jargon, but the gist of it is this: * is accused of violating some privacy law by disclosing our personal viewing information. This Henry guy is serious about it, and he’s not just doing it for himself. He’s trying to get this lawsuit certified as a class action, which means he’s fighting for all of us * subscribers who might have had our data shared without our consent.
So, I kept researching, trying to figure out what to do. Then, boom! I got this targeted ad, this one felt different. It was about compensation for this * lawsuit. They were talking about up to $2500! I was like, “What? Is this for real?” I mean, $2500 is a lot of money. But is it legitimate? Is it worth the hassle?
I started asking around, talking to some friends who are also baseball fans and have *. Some of them got the same ad, some didn’t. We were all confused and a bit freaked out.
I decided to dive deeper. I started looking into the law firm handling the lawsuit, the details of the case, everything. I wanted to make sure this wasn’t some elaborate scam. The more I read, the more it seemed like this was a real deal. This Henry guy, he’s onto something. And it’s not just about the money, it’s about our privacy. It’s about these big companies thinking they can just share our information without us knowing. I don’t want to let these companies walk all over us, do you?
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
- Reached out to the law firm handling the case. I wanted to get more information directly from the source.
- Documented everything. I took screenshots of the ads, saved emails, and kept notes of all my research.
- Talked to other * subscribers. I wanted to see how widespread this issue was and if others were taking action.
- Considered my options. Do I join the class action? Do I pursue my own claim? Do I just ignore it and hope it goes away?
Right now, I’m still trying to decide what to do. It’s a lot to think about. But one thing’s for sure, I’m not letting this go. Our privacy matters, and we need to hold these companies accountable. I thought, maybe I should take a break from watching on * but… I paid for this.
I’ll keep you guys updated on what happens. This whole * lawsuit thing is a wild ride, and I’m in it for the long haul. I’ll let you guys know when I have some updates.
