Another thing not being considered by all the "judge doesn't know anything" crowd is that they're failing to consider that this case isn't really about search engines or Alphabet as a company.

It's about monopoly laws. In this case, pertaining to Google and Mozilla, but monopolies nonetheless.

She has no memories and got abducted as a child. Of course she has issues.

Usually to consider radioactive sources "gone" you have to wait at least 5 half lives (which makes it 99.875% gone), which would be 60 years in this case.

Severe anxiety and PTSD can qualify as disabilities, and therefore can have a service animal.

A service animal is trained to perform a specific task that allows a person with a disability to perform normal daily activities. For PTSD and anxiety this action can be (but isn't limited to) detecting the onset of a panic attack and providing direct physical stimulation/grounding.

An emotional support animal is one that isn't trained for a task and whose presence makes the person with a disabling condition better (e.g. someone with anxiety is generally less anxious with their cat around).

ESA's are not protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (or equivalent in most other countries) while service animals are.

Also, a service animal can be any type of dog. Yes, even a pug can be a service animal if it is trained to do a task. No, training does not have to be done by an expensive service.
