I understand what you’re saying, but this seemed a far more credible threat than someone wanting me to send them Bitcoin to delete my webcam video. For instance, here’s a story about a lawyer who filed so many ADA lawsuits that a judge barred them from filing any more. People abuse the legal system all the time, and while people on the receiving end of a lawsuit can fight it, it’s guaranteed to be expensive in many ways. I could absolutely see someone filing thousands of CCPA lawsuits that wouldn’t actually stand up in trial, but which would be an utter fiasco for even the un-liable defendants.
