I'd really like to see this. And after that I'd like to see a jury hit Facebook with 12 figures in punitive damages in a class action case.

- quickthrower2 4y agoDoesn't FB have the right to not do business with you? What is the basis for the suit? Anyway I do remember FB's "a cool "open source" way to do front-end development, feel "free" to use it, you can't sue us though". So maybe there is some shitty clause like that when you sign up.
- sgjohnson 4y ago> What is the basis for the suit? Withholding your money and then when you (rightfully) sue them for that, retaliating and kicking you off the platform entirely?
- hoppla 4y agoWas it not a clause in the react js or so, that you lose the right to use the framework if you sued Facebook?
- sgjohnson 4y agoReact is MIT licensed, so no.
- yamtaddle 4y ago> Was it not a clause in the react js or so, that you lose the right to use the framework if you sued Facebook? This is true (if we take "was" literally). Though IIRC it was only if you sued them over patents. > React is MIT licensed And this is also true (now).
- michaelmrose 4y agoThere has been one 12 figure judgement in history and it was from big tobacco lying about the danger of their product which has killed millions of people over decades. In this situation there would be no judgement because there is no right to have a facebook account therefore they can close your account because they don't like your face or indeed because you sued them. Why would you imagine that a jury would basically award you all facebook's money because they closed your account? Yes sir Mr soandso they were clearly jerks I award you Facebook now try not to be as big a jerk as Zuck and good day to you!
