Lawsuit accuses Oracle of facilitating sales of 'billions' of folks' personal data

The allegations appear to be based, in part, on an Oracle presentation from 2016 in which Oracle CTO and founder Larry Ellison described how data was collected so businesses could predict purchasing patterns among consumers.
