Joining a letter or court filing is not a lawsuit or a finding against any company.

Other Maine laws that may matter

• Consumer protection law: Maine Unfair Trade Practices Act (5 M.R.S. sections 205-A to 214). It applies to businesses generally, not to chatbots specifically; whether it reaches a particular chatbot practice is a legal question.
