You probably can't sue Google over an employee placing the location over something run down. Google provides the application but can't control what the millions of people around the world are doing. Perhaps you can have it removed.

As for the history of class actions - they started back in England in the seventeenth century with something called a "bill of peace." This allowed an action to be brought when the parties to litigation were large and all had the same gripe. This prevented the same case from basically being tried over and over again with a huge waste of the courts time.

I'm sure, the numbers would be approximately the same in other countries as well. Simple people I mean those who don't deal with science have no idea about what is happening in this area. Probably, somebody should take the responsibility to inform people.
