Now that you mention it, what's stopping two such companies from manipulating the result of this landmark case ?

What's stopping Facebook from setting up a puppet company to sue to obtain their desired precedent ?

This seems like a huge hole in the "let's let the courts decide the law system".

judges are not even remotely amused by attempts to manipulate them, and if they discover it, i can't imagine things ending well for parties making such an attempt.

That's called "fraud" and there are pretty severe repercussions for that.
