Man Who Sued 'Are We Dating the Same Guy?' Groups Files Class Action Lawsuit
- kelseyfrog 3y ago> Facebook has facilitated, promoted, and editorialized content for the groups in an effort to maximize its advertising revenue and collect large quantities digital information about users for the purpose of commercial profit It sounds like he's suing Facebook for being Facebook. Is that right?
- DaveFlater 3y agoWell, there are two pieces. The first piece is establishing that 'the groups' were doing something wrong. The second piece is the usual struggle about the responsibility of big tech to police and moderate what goes on in the fora that they own and generate their income from. Attention is skewed toward the second question because big tech has the deep pockets, but both questions involve nontrivial moral issues.

- netsharc 3y agoHaha the 2nd link is a good read! It's extra amusing to be reading a mocking opinion of someone (and his lawyers) who's in the process suing people for defamation: you know the author is going to be mocking but ensure that he's legally bulletproof...
