LinkedIn Faces More Litigation for Doing What its Contracts Say It Will Do

LinkedIn will be an important case to follow. The next step is for the court to agree that the class should be created before the case proceeds, or dismiss the case.
LinkedIn has been a wildly successful social media business site for many years. It provides a free platform for millions of members to share professional experiences and for businesses to promote themselves.
However, LinkedIn’s financial success also makes it a target for lawsuits — even suits that don’t seem to make much sense.
