  Nah, they’re a megacorp, you gotta hurt them where it counts - in their bottom line. Make them use their super expensive lawyers to defend this shit. Honestly more people/entities should do this. Even pro se, these corporate lawyers cost these companies literally hundreds of thousands of dollars to go into court. Just imagine how much you could cost them if everyone started suing them for any little thing. Even a response to a lawsuit requires a lawyer, which requires time and effort.

  Its literally the only thing they care about - money. Strongly worded letters and protests aren’t enough. They can ignore those.

    Google is worth more than Mexico. A frivolous lawsuit, which is what this would be, will hurt Mexico more.

      have we (the human race) ever been to this point before? where corporations are big enough to absorb whole countries and there’s pretty much nobody who’ll stand up to them?

        The East India Company is the first example that comes to mind. I’m sure others.

        I really don’t think we are living through unprecedented times, unfortunately. People have sucked for as long as we’ve existed.
