Things don't become true based merely on the number of lawsuits filed. If there were some further substance in the public domain (eg. emails, whistleblower, technical analysis, etc.) then adding "allegedly" might be more of a technicality.

At the moment, I have no idea whether Facebook & Google did this or not. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. No judges have ruled on it yet. No evidence has been presented. Even the details of what exactly they are being accused of are vague. It's purely an allegation at this point.
