I had some of the cases passing by my screen. Whether they fit your concrete 
case? I don't think so. But I'm pretty sure there are some nice cases the 
consumer advocates or the DPAs can bring up. I'm all for being concrete. But 
if we have no case, why are we here anyway? Why are consumers so concerned?

The cases that show the danger for democracy, you admitted in another email, 
are difficult to make public. 

Best,
