Even this #SCOTUS agrees! The Cambridge Analytica scandal was a cover-up, at minimum. This country will protect shareholders if it does nothing else. scotusblog.com/2024/11/justice…
Justices dismiss Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data breach dispute
This morning the justices dismissed Facebook v. Amalgamated Bank as “improvidently granted” – that is, without issuing a ruling on the merits, and instead signaling that it was a mistake to grant review.ronald-mann (SCOTUSblog)

in reply to David Carroll • • •That's not what this dismissal means. It's basically saying that the SCOTUS is taking no stance, not agreeing with either side.
But really, this is all based in the misunderstanding--widely distributed in the press--over what happened back in CA.
In reality, CA didn't steal user data. Users handed it to them. I was there, and back in those days users were happily handing over information to these third parties.
But that doesn't make for such a sensational story, so as usual, the drive for click-bait lead the investigation.
This is still cleaning up that mess.
