Trust me, we have tried. The problem is that while there was never a PayPal account verified to that email address, somehow a foreign number is attached to it. Every time we have tried to start an account with that email, the verification ping goes to that number, even though the email is unverified. We haven’t found a way to tell PayPal to disassociate that number, because we never had any account attached to it to begin with.
I thought the main point of the tattletale laws was to avoid judicial review. An important part of that is to establish who has standing. If the law was enforced directly by the AG, then people could sue the office directly if they think the enforcement violated their rights. But since these laws are enforced by nosy neighbors, there is no one central body to sue to review it. They’ve essentially insulated these laws from ever having a judge rule they are invalid.
