No, they can not. That is not how a class is formed, now how it works. They could sue as co-plaintiffs, but it would be almost impossible for them to win. They would have to prove that the company maliciously hurt their business and be able to substantiate how it was hurt. Just citing Facebook is likely to get the case thrown out and I don't know anyone who would represent a plaintiff in a case based on what someone said on Facebook.
