Has there ever been a class action settlement that actually made all the people who were harmed whole?
Because somehow I doubt it.
When Arco was sued for charging people fees on their debit cards, I got two separate checks for around $70 each. I don’t think I ever paid anywhere near that in $0.35 fees. Every other one had been a scam though.
Class action lawsuits are a fucking scam for lawyers.
Trying to bring back Slashdot?
Also the rule of law died yesterday with a whimper.
Slashdot never died, it’s moderation just failed to function at scale and speed it needed to and got flooded with nazi bullshit daily for years, making it largely irrelevant but still active.
Also it’s a techdirt article, which was a Slashdot staple for a long time, so like a callback to that, perhaps.
