Starting to wonder if the name became "Meta" so that the headlines wouldn't read "Class action suit filed against Facebook" or "Scandal involving Facebook".
"Class action suit filed against Facebook's Parent company, Meta" Easy fix. Just look at Google / Alphabet reporting.
Reminds me of IBM and WW2. Maybe a class action suit should be drawn up for IBM also?

Nobody below the C-level would have any real responsibility in a case like this.
Did accountants, engineers, and other staff, receive sentences for participation in other genocides? Serious question.
Between the UN fact-finding mission saying Facebook played a “determining role” in the genocide, the Bosworth memo, and the shit ton of access we now have thanks to the whistleblower, how is this not a strong case?
I don’t see how Facebook is liable for the actions of other adults.maybe evidence comes out that Facebook actively encouraged it. But seems unlikely.

I think this is overthinking it. Mark Zuckerberg is the head of the world's most mundane tech company at the moment, so he changed the name and the focus of the company to try and dig out of this hole.

The people who created this case want to damage the leadership of the company (who set the primary policy decisions), not engineers or other staff, unless they could find that an engineer worked on their own (and documented in a discoverable way).
Honestly, I don't think this case has even a remote chance of making it through the courts. The filer would have done far better to not ask for a enormous monetary sum (2X the GDP of myanmar).
Will there be actual personal responsibility for management and engineers involved?

Are you asking if the company that created this document actually filed it?
Here's some news about it
