If this was a class action lawsuit it would likely be dismissed or not even allowed to form. AFAIK they didn't violate any laws.

YSK that lawsuits are not only about breaking laws. Contracts and torts are civil cases, not criminal cases.

The cause of action is, essentially, Twitter violated its contracts with its employees. That is sufficient grounds for a class action, assuming the contracts and the nature of the violation is reasonably standard among the class.
