Former employees seeking to collectively sue Twitter now have to do so individually after a California judge ruled against class action status. Five employees were seeking to launch a class action effort, but U.S. District Judge James Donato ruled in favor of individual arbitration. The employees were part of significant layoffs made by Elon Musk after his purchase of Twitter. The plaintiffs claimed they were not given adequate notice.
