> but don’t sue Ok, so, honest question, why not? If you're correct then it seems like a class action would be a slam dunk and wouldn't cost you anything perso

    In theory. In practice FB's lawyers will produce a compelling bullshit excuse to explain the poor results, the fake clicks, the fake accounts, and the lack of sales. Likely it will be the user's fault and FB can't be held responsible if the user keeps spending money etc etc. This is really an antitrust issue, because it's a particularly nasty form of market monopolisation combined with cultivated mental and emotional manipulation to keep buyers locked in and spending.

  If it's anything like the situation in Europe you can't effectively sue Facebook without at least a couple millions to potentially throw out the window. They pay a lot of good lawyers to make the court proceedings as long-winded and expensive as possible for the opposing party, relying on the fact that very few have the resources, time and determination to put up with this.

  Do they even have a right to sue or does FB force them into arbitration? I honestly don't know as I have never bought ads on FB. It would not surprise me if all but the biggest enterprise customers have horrible terms of service...
