I was wondering if there already is and/or if anyone here would be interested in establishing some kind of “class action support/coordination group”. With that I mean, for example, a group of people who are interested in reacting and acting together against companies which make use of unfair and manipulative customer strategies. Such as banks blocking access to people account without informing them beforehand of the changes, just because they don’t use a stock Android and so on (like we’ve seen especially in the last year). Or even writing together letters to be sent to the respective courts. I know that there have been various initiatives of such kind in the past, but I never found an organised solution/group which makes the process smoother and make people in these situations feel more supported, instead than feeling almost “alone against Goliath”. I’m in contact with two acquaintances of mine, which are both lawyers and which would have interst in establishing/supporting something like this. This could also be used like some kind of collective fund, where people support one another’s court costs and even suggest which path/lawyer/approach may be best/better to employ.
Following a few threads on these forums, I have seen that some persons here repeatedly wished there was something acting in a more pro-active way, in supporting and bolstering the culture of respect of each one’s freedom, privacy and requirement of security. I also think that our voice should be more organised and more pro-active instead than only sharing links and subscribing to petitions/online actions. Also, if one manages to win cases in court, one could establish very powerful precedents, which could be used to our advantage in many ways.
So, if you know any group and/or initiative which does this more or less already, would be great if you mention it. If not, would be great if you share what is perception/vision/solution about this recurrent problematic.
Looking forward!
