Benign

Two main issues I see here:

• they don’t care if it is tap or bottle
• they rely on hospitals reporting on contaminated water as a cause of medical issues or something

I other words: Only bottled water available, and hospitals don’t report on water contamination issues - > 💯

Gerd is a normal female name in Norway. Out of fashion atm, but somewhat common among the grand-parent generation.

US law doesn’t care what companies do to consumers. The law only cares what they do to other companies. Apple own their own hardware production and ecosystem, so they aren’t harming other companies (directly).

No conspiracy needed.
