I don't agree with this. Analysis of the source code, especially with global variables reducing the value of analyzing a unit, is not going to imply that it will discover anything about the (presumably millions of) users who exercise the code in live situations daily. Just the inability to CLEAR the source code from blame is a failing in responsibility on behalf of the brand.
The american litigation system has its issues, but I would argue that class action lawsuits are not among them. It allows social change through clear legal decisions when people are otherwise disagreeing on matters much like this.
