Commonality and Predominance. There are many questions of law and fact
2
common to the claims of Plaintiff and the Class and those questions predominate over any
3
questions that may affect individual members of the Class. These common questions of law and
4
fact include:
5
•
Whether Facebook (the product) contains design defects that
harmed Rohingya Muslims, and, if so, whether Facebook (the
company) is strictly liable for them;
•
Whether Facebook owed a duty of care to Rohingya Muslims
when entering the Burmese market;
•
Whether Facebook breached any duty of care to Rohingya
Muslims in the way it operated in Burma; and
•
Whether Facebook’s Burmese operations caused harm to Rohingya
Muslims.

Typicality. Plaintiff’s claims are typical of the claims of all members of the
13
Class. Plaintiff and the other Class members sustained damages as a result of Defendant’s
14
uniform wrongful conduct.
15
163.
Adequacy. Plaintiff will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the Class.
16
Plaintiff has retained counsel with substantial experience in prosecuting complex class actions
17
and particular expertise in litigation involving social media. Plaintiff and her counsel are
18
committed to vigorously prosecuting the action on behalf of the Class and have the resources to
19
do so. Neither the Plaintiff nor her counsel have any interests adverse to those of the other
20
members of the Class. Defendant has no defenses unique to Plaintiff.
21
164.
Superiority. A class action is superior to all other available methods for the fair
22
and efficient adjudication of this controversy and joinder of all members of the Class is
23
impracticable. The members of the proposed Class are, by definition, recent immigrants and lack
24
the tangible resources, language skills, and cultural sophistication to access and participate
25
effectively in the prosecution of individual lawsuits in any forum having jurisdiction over
26
Defendant. A class action in which the interests of the Class are advanced by representative
27
parties therefore provides the greatest chance for individual Class members to obtain relief.
