Not a lawyer and haven’t seen the lawsuit but I’ve watched a lot of legal eagle and other lawyers and I suspect it’s not about them manipulating codes. I also doubt this is the sort of case trying to set a precedent in any legal sense.

Likely it’s just boring fraud because they deceived content creators and users with lies to make money.

A different company doing the same thing but being honest might be unethical and terrible but probably wouldn’t be sued.
