The way the Class Action lawsuits are going to be effective:
Unlike many people might believe, it is not the Members of Farcebook, Twatter and others that will be the effective plaintiffs. Rather, it will be those who never joined, never accepted the Terms and Conditions.
It has been revealed that the social media platforms are harvesting and selling data of non members. Obviously these non members were never presented with the Terms and Conditions, never accepted these terms and never opted in.
This is an invasion of privacy and that is a crime in and of itself but if you examine what the social media companies really are you will begin to realize that it was a civil rights violation.
Many will say that Farcebook, Twatter et al cannot violate our civil rights because they are not government entities.
Herein lies the rub. As @Snowden explained in his post MZ drop today, Farcebook is Lifelog and Lifelog is DARPA and DARPA is a subset of the federal government.
Granted, Farcebook will argue they are not a government agency but ask yourself, what business is Farcebook in? What is their business plan? How do they earn money?
If you think they make the bulk of their money from advertising you are fooling yourself. Farcebook is in the information selling business, metadata to be specific.
Who do they sell that data to? How is it used and who uses it?
Could it be that DARPA created MZ and Farcebook as a means to circumvent the Constitution/Bill of Rights by creating a company that gathers and sells the metadata to governments and politicians. It gives the impression that the transaction was always at arms length.
If we can pierce the phony corporate veil that is protecting tyrants within government from being liable for the millions of civil rights violations we can begin to recover our right to privacy.can end this
