At&t customers are bound to individual arbitration so there will be no class action lawsuit for this.

> Please read this Agreement carefully. It requires you and AT&T to resolve disputes through arbitration on an individual basis rather than jury trials or class actions.

I was not a customer of AT&T when the leak happened.

Very difficult to run these days. Since 2018, federal courts have ground away many of the legal routes needed to run a successful class action suit against a national or multinational corporation.

I also ANAL but if I recall correctly, you can decline to be represented in the class, and file your own lawsuit

can't wait to get that check in the mail for $1.32

I got a check in the mail last week for 12¢ from Google hoovering up my data. Yes, that's twelve cents!

Google certainly made more off of my data than that.

costs more to mail a letter

True but personally I also wouldn’t want to go through the time and expense to sue them solo. At least in a class action the company faces some penalty that’s possibly meaningful to them (even if it’s not meaningful to most of the claimants).
