This isn't just lynching another black man, it's lynching the same black man. Google was the target in both cases. As such it's obviously pertinent to look at what motivated them go after Google the first time, which as I said is because they've been captured by traditional media interests.

Ah, so you are in fact claiming that KKK can only ever have one motive for doing anything. I find that quite absurd. Notice that with all the words that you have written here not one of them is about the actual case being discussed, wonder why that is.

I'm claiming the KKK only have one motive for lynching black men.

There's no media coverage on this case because we don't have a proper press thanks to the ACCC, but it's a ridiculous case on the face of it. I use location data covertly stolen from users who've installed various apps at work (we don't do anything nefarious with it but there's no reason someone couldn't). The ACCC doesn't care about privacy or consumer protections unless it involves big tech, as anyone familiar with its history can attest.
