> file a complaint with your OAG

Honestly one of my new favourite uses for AI. Little things I wouldn't ordinarily complain about I can now engage the regulatory state on. (Currently pursuing LG under Wyoming's wiretapping statute.)

Though heading that off might be why this is only "starting from October 13th, 2026" and in respect of "any new Withings account."

I agree, that's a great use for AI.

As for the timing... If you BOUGHT the product before October 13th and simply didn't activate an account yet - then it might still be worthy of a complaint. I'm not saying they are actively false advertising, I haven't checked every one of their store fronts after all. But it is a valid path for someone who did get swindled.

And public service is getting swamped with petty little BS in return. Even if the substance has merits (and most doesn't, because AI systems are yes-men that don't push back like an actually trained lawyer would), they have to spend sooooo much time reading and digesting all the AI written fluff plus checking if stuff like cited court cases actually exists.

Then perhaps they know the true scale of consumer complaints once friction to file is removed, they can take better actions to reduce those complaints.

		> they can take better actions to reduce those complaints Nine out of ten times companies settle because (a) the claims have merit and (b) it costs them more to go in front of a regulator than it does a consumer.

It's ok, they can use AI.
