RE: Eight Years in Remission

in Discovery-it • 17 days ago

That must have been so scary 8 years ago, but it's great they dealt with it so quick. You hardly got time to recover from the shock and you're fit as a fiddle again.

Americans are big on class actions, aren't they? Just out of interest how much of the compensation went to the lawyers, they always seems to be the big winners in these court cases whilst they real victims get pittance. Luckily, (I hope) you didn't suffer any actual loss on all this. Great work on taking part in it. FB are terrible in privacy invasion.

        Yeah, I am sure the lawyers got a pretty hefty portion of the settlement. They likely did a lot of the grunt work, but I doubt it was proportional. I don't know the exact number though. I think part of the reason they do class actions so much here is because it's easier to take on the large corporations when you have a big group of people versus just one or two. Class actions always seem to be more of a civil thing than a criminal thing too, but I could be wrong. Thank you! I think my wife took it harder back then than I did, but she never really showed it.
