Everyone can quickly get a sense of what this lawsuit is all about when Bill says "The defendant thumbed its multi-billion dollar nose at the law and plaintiff". Thats right, this is about money, Bill wants it and Facebook has it. He then goes on to blame FB for allowing his haters to spread their hate of him and then finishes it off with the usual sob story of how FB has cost him his marriage, his kids, his job, and even his home.
But lets not forget what the real truth was. Bill Windsor had 50,000 "likes" at one time (or close to it) on his public page but as we looked in to those profiles, the overwhelming majority of those likes were from fake profiles. Remember this story for instance http://joeyisalittlekid.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-big-game-by-funday.html
So Windsor defrauded Facebook with these likes in the first place and once we exposed his lie he hid all the likes. This was way before facebook suspended his account. I'm sure the logical question any judge would ask is how could someone go from 50,000 followers to just 100 by simply losing a facebook page? The answer of course is there never was 50,000 real followers, only a Windsor illusion. But don't let facts or even his fraud get in the way of making up a good story and trying to attack Facebook and their mulit-billion dollar company.
Since Bill has made himself a public figure and since he has taken the first shot at Facebook, this gives the Facebook legal team an easy target to make an example out of. People need to know that there are consequences for artificially inflating the number of followers you have for financial and political purposes. Bill Winsor is loaded and has plenty of money to cover FB's legal fees and damages, just ask Maid of the Mist how hard it is for him to cut a big settlement check when he has too.
As Bill Windsor claims in this lawsuit:
. The DEFENDANT’s conduct as
described above is willful, wanton, wicked,
intentional, and malicious resulting
from fraud, insult, and malice, and it is
associated with aggravating circumstances,
including willfulness, wantonness, malice,
oppression, outrageous conduct, insult,
and fraud, thus warranting the PLAINTIFF’s
recovery of punitive damages from
the DEFENDANT. The PLAINTIFF should receive an
award of punitive
damages. Exemplary damages serve to provide the
claimant with recovery above
and beyond compensatory damages in order to
punish the wrongdoer for egregious
conduct and to deter the wrongdoer and others
from similar conduct in the future.
Since the PLAINTIFF’s damages can never be
erased in this case; there is no
amount of money that could compensate the
PLAINTIFF for the loss of the loves
of his life, his wife, children, and
grandchildren; there is no amount of money to
compensate a decent, honest, law-abiding citizen
for the destruction of his career
and reputation.
