How this doesn't result in a class action lawsuit is beyond me.
Spineless cowards contributing to the death of the U.S. .
Because any money won is split amongst the members of the class action. So, the larger is literally pennies for the aggrieved, unless it’s literally $5 per member. Is that really motivating? $5 is a joke, what’s the value that’s worth a squeeze? $100?
I don't think the payout is as important as taking money away from tech giants is. It isn't an efficient usage of the money, of course that money could be spent to greater effect than just splitting it up piecemeal. Yes, it likely is a pittance compared to what billionaires are worth. However if literally everyone struck these people at the same time, class action lawsuits being brought against all tech giants alongside general strikes — suddenly they're hemorrhaging money outside of the lawsuits and their technofascist bubble pops.
Certainly naive to believe — as I've said the people I'm talking about are mostly spineless cowards that are contributing directly to fascism. I have no misgivings about whether what I want to happen will happen or not.
Class action lawsuits don't mean anything in the US ngl. Companies just change their name to something unfamiliar.
Class action lawsuits + general strikes? I'm pretty sure that would mean a hell of a lot, especially to the people drowning in despair due to... the 'everything' situation.
cool wake me up to when they actaully do that.
Not the point of the thread Canadian, you'll notice my initial comment calls them spineless cowards.
You misunderstand, I don't believe it will actually happen. Your country has proven its unwillingness to stand up to or stop your current crop of leadership, I simply don't believe it'll happen.
Why even have a legal system only for companies to battle their lawyers at a game of taking things from us? Why not just put hypercapitalism even more and allow them to buy politicians and laws? Or wait
