In the source's own words
“The attorneys general are also seeking a comprehensive privacy program, clear disclosures about personal data use, effective opt-outs from targeted advertising, limits on using private conversations for AI training or other commercial purposes without valid consent, and an opportunity for consumers to access and delete their information before any sale. ... Attorney General James and the coalition will remain engaged in the bankruptcy proceedings and reserve the right to seek an independent consumer privacy ombudsman or object to proposed sale procedures or a bankruptcy plan.”
