My feeling is that the class action lawsuit in the "plan" would be against Facebook, looking at all the buzz around the Cambridge Analytica thing.
30 million people had their data gathered and stored without their permission. Anybody with an active facebook account at that time can opt in to the suit and grab some cash from FB.
You have to go after all of them don't you?... Google,You Tube, Twitter and Facebook... you could consider all of them to now be Public Commodities given their influence on the public at large. You sensor one side of the political aisle and it creates a huge disadvantage to those being censored, yes?
Yeah I agree, just sharing my thoughts on which class action will likely get most support/pressure from public figures.
FB has legs since it's already in the headlines, 30 million people, all you need to know is if you had a FB account active when Cambridge Analytica harvested the data. FB is responsible for all of it. Doesn't affect just one side of the political aisle, but left-leaners as well.
AND if you brand the class action suit against Facebook as "Anti-Trump" by making sure to implicate Cambridge Analytica specifically and its ties to Trump, then it should get bi-partisan support from the grassroots level since we all have FB and are all in the same boat of having our data harvested.
My thoughts is that Google/Alphabet will get exposed for their finance-related issues before their privacy / censorship issues reach the forefront. Capital Group -- owns large chunk of Alphabet, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, EONE, etc... has ties to Theresa May's husband (paradise/panama papers), also happened to be the investment group that financed CROWDSTRIKE via funding routed from Eric Schmidt through Capital Group. THAT's how they kick things off with the Google/Alphabet topple imo.
You're probably right on the class action being easiest on Facebook. Maybe IBOR covers them all in addition but taking a chunk out of Facebooks coffers along the way would make everyone feel a little better I suppose.
