Platforms Block Lawsuit‑Recruiting Ads

Big tech platforms can and are removing paid ads that law firms use to recruit plaintiffs for class actions or tort suits. That behavior turns ad inventory into a lever for limiting who can organize around legal claims and lets platforms shape the process and optics of accountability. — This matters because it shows private companies actively mediating access to legal mobilization and public information, raising questions about conflicts of interest, free speech, and the balance between platform governance and civic processes.
