Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

From the original court filing: “Defendant would show that any injuries or illnesses alleged to have been sustained by Plaintiff, Mary Doe [the 9 year old girl], were proximately caused by Plaintiff's own fault and negligence, were proximately caused by Plaintiff's use of the compromised lavatory, which she knew or should have known contained a visible and illuminated recording device.”
American Airlines is passing the blame to their “outside legal counsel.”
Parentheses and emphasis are mine.

I'm going to hope this is some ChatGPT template response bullshit, because the other option is that someone chose to write this.
Even if they were an adult who might recognise an illuminated spy camera, it's not like you have enough choice in bathrooms at 30000 ft to infer something resembling consent.
I mean, realistically, there's just no way the airline would have been providing that defense. The PR would be a thousand times worse than the bit of payout to the 9 year olds family would be.
