Is it safe to assume that every single author (apart from the ones that cannot prove their works were in any of those archives at the time) can sue meta for plagiarism and theft?

You can but you won’t win unless you can prove anything, so good luck with that.

Even if you can, you're fighting against a company that has annual revenue similar to some country's GDP.

No company should be allowed to get this big.

*unless it's product is collectively owned by the public and for the public as a civil service.

Yes. I see no feasible solution to this, without impacting the reader experience.
