The plaintiffs assert that the potential class of plaintiffs includes more than a hundred people and that their claims exceed $5 million.
A group of adult entertainers have filed a class action lawsuit against Meta, Facebook’s parent company. A 39-page complaint filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California uses the phrase “on information and belief,” a total of 34 times in asserting far-reaching claims by a class of adult entertainers against Meta Platforms Inc. and its subsidiaries, Instagram and Facebook.
Because of their financial stake in the viewership, the entertainers tried to drive traffic to the adult websites where their videos could be seen. An important tool was their presence on the major social media platforms, particularly Instagram and Facebook. However, in October of 2018 the complaint alleges that a Florida resident named Leonid Radvinsky acquired ownership of a U.K. and Hong Kong registered company named Fenix International Limited.
The complaint alleges that even though the websites with plaintiffs’ videos experienced steadily decreasing traffic, visits to the OnlyFans platform grew dramatically. Charts included in the complaint show OnlyFans total monthly web traffic growing from less than 3 million to nearly 12 million from June 2019 to June 2021.
Liberally using the “on information and belief” qualifier, the complaint alleges a complicated scheme to “blacklist” the plaintiffs on social media platforms so that their web traffic would be dramatically reduced or eliminated.
