    The issue here isn’t that the tracking link has been tampered with, but that it was done without the user’s informed consent.

    Honey doesn’t advertise how it makes its money to consumers; it is just a fancy plug-in that could save you money.

      That is not the issue at all. This lawsuit has nothing to do with user of honey, only on behalf of creators and affiliate marketers. Langley in part because users of honey signed a class action waver and makes it a sticky issue to also include them in the lawsuit.

      One of the lawyers taking part in it explicitly points this out: https://youtu.be/ItiXffyTgQg?t=182
