#Texas AG sues #GM for fraud, selling #OnStar customer data to insurers using it to screw drivers. The AG's filing includes receipts. Asks judge to award $10k per violation, plus $250K for 65+ y/o seniors. (billions) It's having them turn it off, and stop the abuse that will hurt GM the most.

#Austin's #Tesla next, please.

Kudos to AG consumer protection attorneys Bridegan, Nordstrom, Lee, and Baasch for protecting #privacy.
