Comment on Are there „lawfirms“ that specialize on antitrust?
Haui@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoAbsolutely possible that they often handle it. It was just the idea that we kind of need something like r/wallstreetbets but with lawyers&for commercial & legislative justice or something. I‘m thinking a little broader than privacy. More like if a sub decides that a topic has 10s of thousands of followers, it is brought before one or more courts with a kickstarter campaign and all. This could be the future of online governing. As in fighting for freedom -> organizing political campaigns -> turning the tide on fascists and autocrats politically and commercially and taking back control of the political landscape.

I like the idea. I’m not sure of the risk, because if you lose, then I think you have to pay the other parties legal fees.
If you started a Kickstarter and got good lawyers on board, I’d be willing to contribute. I would need to see the lawyers are well qualified though and preferably only paid if they win.

Thats understandable but this kind of one off has already been done afaik. I really think it needs to become a regular installment to begin changing things. Because legal fees and class actions don’t really sway google & co but if that became a thing, it would attract attention and that will cause problems. They give in at settlements because they want to bury cause and people asap.
