Saying that they are "in trouble" seems click-baity and disingenuous. I don't really think anyone can reasonably expect anything posted online to remain private and/or within their control. I mean, we've had access to the internet for how long now? The only way this would have even an iota of credibility as a lawsuit is from private corporate entities that "publish" your data, but even then the article itself says that's a stretch.
This is just another one of those written pieces that use a lot of words to say basically nothing.
