T-Mobile sued after employee stole nudes from customer phone - Lemmy.World

employee of a third-party authorized retailer

Phone was a trade in. Dunno what the liability looks like here, but I doubt T-Mobile has the lions share of it.

In trial it would really come down to what T-Mobile's response was when their third party affiliate became responsible for this incident.

If T-Mobile did not do anything to enforce any type of protection for their customer and the customer in good faith believed that they were operating with a T-Mobile authorized retailer then T-Mobile could very well be financially responsible for their actions.

It comes down to how well the lawyer can argue the facts of the case and how the facts of the case stand up to scrutiny and what a jury will think of those facts and how they are presented.

Note, I'm not a lawyer, but I have worked with lawyers and a professional capacity and this is not a nothing Burger situation.

The plaintiff’s identity remains anonymous in the legal complaint

Then posts a tweet posted by the plaintiff.

That's the lawyer, lol.
Wow… that’s embarrassing.

Nah, simple mistake. We all make them.

It’s only embarrassing to be wrong when someone doubles down/refuses to admit it.

Studies show that 9 out 10 lawyers have nudes on their phones.
Yeah, I’ve gone through a lot of lawyers.

The longer the internet exists the more shit like this confuses me, like come on that’s 80% of the reason the internet is as big as it is, porn
