Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced Thursday she is investigating whether pharmaceutical giant CVS improperly used customers’ personal information to send out text messages lobbying against a proposed state law.
Murrill also said she plans to issue a cease-and-desist letter to the company to stop the messages.
As lawmakers debated a now-failed bill on Wednesday they held up screenshots of text messages sent by CVS.
“Last minute legislation in Louisiana threatens to close your CVS Pharmacy — your medication cost may go up and your pharmacist may lose their job,” one such text, obtained by The Associated Press, read.
Wonder which low level employee is gonna be the scapegoat.
It’s Peter. He’s been having a lot of trouble with his TPS Reports.
What is so hard about a cover sheet? Someone needs to talk to him about that.
Did you get the memo?
There was no cover sheet so nobody read it.
Peter… Whaaaats happpennning
Comedy bit idea, CVS mass texts their customers to overthrow the government of Louisiana
“Sir, our men are trying to hold the line, but these protesters just won’t quit! They’re all so healthy!”
“Got-damned multivitamins! [eats beignet, has three heart attacks, belches]”
Goodness, this is brilliant! I love it.
CVS bought Rite Aid and is closing the location I get my RXs from. Knowing the monopoly they have over their customer base, I’m going to transfer my rxs to a competitor after the store closes later this summer rather than go to their target location. They own a fucking health insurance company, Aetna, ffs.
They have all bought distribution companies and aligned themselves vertically to extract maximum profit. It’s a mess at best and just flat out anti consumer bullshit at worst.
Corporations are people, therefore they can have an opinion. I would think they’d have the legal right to do this, unlike a church, for example, who would get good tax benefits for keeping quiet.
