Technically you can try, but any judge would laugh you right out of the courtroom for attempting to waste their time.

This.

People keep confusing "can sue" with "be successful in court".

You can sue anyone for anything at any time. I can sue you because I don't like your default avatar. But that doesn't mean that I would have any chance in a courtroom.

And this is exactly how it should be. The decision whether a lawsuit has merit or not should be taken in court, not somewhere before court. Because that would mean that some police man or someone else with only cursory knowledge of the law would have to decide whether a lawsuit has merit and that would be catastrophic.

No, anyone should be able to sue for anything. And garbage lawsuits should be thrown out of court by a judge and/or jury.

Yes you can try but the company would never even hear about it because it wouldn't get any further than trying to file the case.

Yes that's what I said.
