Ticketmaster hit with new class action over alleged privacy violations

Ticketmaster is allegedly spying on your clicks to feed data brokers illegal snacks. Jeffrey Scruggs from Solano County filed a class action in California claiming the site uses unauthorized trackers to scrape IP addresses and browser habits via hidden tools without asking permission.

The complaint accuses the vendor of deploying code from Google, Facebook, TikTok, and Microsoft Bing to build behavioral profiles. Scruggs suggests these scripts violate the California Invasion of Privacy Act because the corporation installs them without judicial authorization or user consent.

Lawyers insist these analytics function like digital trap and trace devices prohibited under state penal codes. The filing seeks five grand per violation for over one hundred proposed members. The total controversy purportedly exceeds five million dollars in potential penalties.

This privacy battle piles onto existing legal misery for the entertainment giant. A defunct startup called Fanimal recently sued over anticompetitive tactics that killed their business. Management also requested a dismissal regarding federal claims about ignoring bot scalpers during sales.

Trust-busters continue their attempt to split the company after a judge preserved key parts of the antitrust case last year. Taylor Swift fans are actively pursuing their own litigation regarding the Eras Tour mess. The legal department is definitely earning its paychecks.
