Hesitating if it makes sense to reply to every skeptical comment, but the legal background here is actually pretty interesting:
There are actually no more class action suits against most big companies that you've signed a contract with:
Thanks to Supreme Court decisions over the last decade your only option is typically to go through an opaque individual arbitration process – https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/12/decade-class-action-was-gutted.html https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/12/decade-class-act...
