Defense Counsel — Stop Reaching for Technicalities and Look at the Real Problem
By James Chung, Esq., Managing Partner, Pro Veritas Law LLP · April 9, 2026 · 3 minutes read
When our demand letters arrive, the first instinct is often to demand the plaintiff's identity, attack technicalities, or search for any possible hole. That reflex misses the entire point of these cases.
These violations are real. Our plaintiffs are verified privacy advocates who have sent multiple notices and filed formal complaints with appropriate government agencies incurring out-of-pocket expenses of economic harm.
Privacy Is the Armor That Protects Free Speech
Digital privacy is the armor that protects our First Amendment rights. Without it, people cannot speak freely online. The moment their identity can be exposed, they face doxxing, public shaming, and harassment. They live under constant duress, and true free speech dies. Privacy gives people the safety to express themselves without fear.
One Leak Compromises Everyone
We respectfully urge you to speak with your technical team and fix the leak immediately. One compromised pixel or tracking script turns your website into a weak node in our interconnected web. That single leak exposes every visitor's browser fingerprint, and from that moment their privacy travels with them everywhere they go.
The Law Exists for a Reason
The law sets statutory damages at $5,000 per violation for a reason. In this AI-driven era, digital privacy has become the sacrosanct core of personal freedom. These high penalties send a loud, clear message and create maximum deterrence. Once a lawsuit is filed, we will ask a jury for the full statutory damages plus the punitive effect of willfully ignoring repeated notices and playing the delay, deny, deflect game.
