Ah, lawsuits. When it rains, it pours. One was filed hastily last week after the Apple tracking file was found, and now two women are filing against Google for more or less the same thing, even using the other lawsuit’s language word for word.

If there’s any wrongdoing here by either party, I don’t think these opportunistic lawsuits are going to be the vehicle of justice.
