> Delivery apps raised concerns about customer privacy and restaurants’ ability to safeguard the data. And in lawsuits, they argued that the law violated their First Amendment rights by illegally dictating what they could do with data they had collected.

> The judge agreed with that argument, using an interpretation of the First Amendment that considers customer data a form of speech.

That feels weird.

"It wasn't a privacy breach, it's our first amendment right to allow a 14 year old in Dubrovnik to exfiltrate 28 gigabytes of customer data."
