It may be a sometimes-abused legal tactic, but you seem to have described an effective consumer protection system. How else would you defend everyday people from regular corporate civil lawbreaking?
- theshadowknows 7y agoI’ll concede that point in that the very threat of a class action is enough to keep most companies in line. But look at the Experian thing. A lifetime of threat for the people who had data exposed, a payout in the range of cents per person, and then lawyers pocketing millions of dollars. And Experian walks away with essentially no lasting effects. It’s just very frustrating.
