Looks like whoever posted this didn't actually read the article. It's all about how Google and Facebook are using the cy pres legal doctrine to get out of paying members of class action law suits. It seems to be that these institutions and the trial lawyers involved profit unfairly.
The most interesting fact in this article is that Judge Lucy, Koh, of Apple v. Samsung fame, recused herself from the case after an appeal was filed to investigate the chosen charities and to create a more open application process. According to the article she had ties to some of the chosen charities.
What exactly is Koh's deal, there has Ben lots of speculation about her partialness in the Apple v. Samsung case as well. Somebody needs to investigate her.
