Twitter is facing a proposed class action lawsuit from four of its vendors alleging the company has failed to pay tens of thousands of dollars in overdue bills for services provided last year.
Summary
- Four vendors, White Coat Captioning, YES Consulting, Cancomm, and Dialogue México, have filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Twitter alleging unpaid bills ranging from around $40,000 to $140,000.
- The lawsuit alleges that Twitter is in breach of their contracts for not paying for the services provided by the companies last year.
- The lawsuit was filed in California Northern District Court, and it refers to the vendors suing Twitter as "small businesses without the resources, time, and money to litigate these claims on their own."
