Lotsa successful CLASS ACTION lawsuits. Suing IT (the powers that be) for destroying TWITTER a possibility?

What would the dollar value be?

A short trip to the past vis a vis class action lawsuits

Tobacco industry paid out $206 BILLION to 48 states for lying about the safety of their cigarettes
BP gulf of mexico oil spill $20 BILLION
Enron Securities Fraud scandal  $6.1 BILLION

Many other BILLION DOLLAR settlements. Now IT (the powers that be) doesn't have that kind of money. But IT could be sued for many BILLIONS just to make a point right? The perp doesn't necessarily have to have the wherewithall to pay up right? What would IT do if all the TWITTER members class action lawsuited IT?
