No. In context it refers to "filing any ... action." Lawsuits and similar procedures in other legal forums are often called actions. Think the movie called A Civil Action staring John Travolta about a civil lawsuit. The concern here is not how it is triggered (it must be by a lawsuit or something similar) but rather the balance of power it provides if you get into a war with Facebook, since you cannot undo having used their software.
- nostrademons 12y agoIn DannyBee's original post, he says that the key words there are "for anyone that makes any claim (including by filing any lawsuit, assertion or other action)", and that by including the words for "assertion or other action", it encompasses claims outside of a court of law. A post on Hacker News or a tweet on Twitter is an assertion, and so would fall under this. Otherwise why include that language? IANAL, but he is, and this is his area of expertise (IIRC he runs the open-source program for Google).
