What she created–using a grocery receipt of her own as reference–was a better receipt, with three distinct elements. But each individual item features a bar chart of its own, representing how expensive it was in relation to other items in the category. One specific limitation Lu discovered during the process was that the printer could not draw horizontal lines, which meant she had to use various visual tricks at the pixel level to create her bar charts, along with the tiny icons of bread, dairy, and meat that she designed, too.

“The sole question presented at this early stage of the case is whether these consumers are proper plaintiffs for this kind of antitrust suit—in particular, our precedents ask whether the consumers were ‘direct purchasers’ from Apple,” the decision reads. Now the case will head back to the district court, where the question of whether Apple violated antitrust law will be resolved.

Most end users are ignorant of what is being done with their data and the risk associated with what these sites view as non-PII (personal identifiable information) and how, in fact, the data can be matched (too long to get into) to reveal specific user details (including PII) without the user being aware.
