US District Judge Chhabria will allow a Cambridge Analytica-related case to go ahead, slapping down Facebook’s efforts to get it dismissed.

"Because Facebook’s view of this issue pervades so many of its individual legal arguments – and because Facebook’s view is so wrong – it is addressed at the outset."
"Less clear is what Facebook is promising to do to protect users."

THREAD: Here’s a minor update in the 643 v. Facebook legal case, which @oliviasolon and I covered back in April. (nbcnews.com/tech/social-me…)

It’s worth noting that this case has been pending in San Mateo Co. Superior Court for over 4 years now, one of the longest in the county.
@oliviasolon Over a month ago, Judge Swope ordered 643’s CEO Ted Kramer to find new counsel for his company.

Kramer finally has: two bankruptcy lawyers who have offices in SF and Modesto.

@oliviasolon It’s worth noting that Judge Swope has a conference management conference hearing currently scheduled for Friday July 19 at 2pm PT, which I will be unable to attend.

643’s new lawyers immediately attempted to get Judge Swope taken off the case.

THREAD: John Steele, the mastermind of Prenda Law, has been sentenced to 5 years in prison, per DOJ.

documentcloud.org/documents/6186…
Prenda Law is the insane story about (now disbarred) lawyers who between 2011 and 2014 made porn films, uploaded them to Pirate Bay and other similar sites, then sued people who pirated those movies—unless they agreed to a $3,000 settlement.

Steele and his cohorts made over $6M.

Bernie Sanders anti black outreach receipts here 👇🏽think it is just me? Dare to find out the truth!
In 2016 Symone Sanders went on record about the racism she received while on the campaign. While she made a point to say it wasn’t leadership those of us that worked with her know the truth but Symone didn’t want to ruin her career & be black balled
google.com/amp/s/www.esse…
In Feb 2019 the 2016 black staff requested a meeting with Sanders to discuss what went wrong in 2016, the meeting was DENIED (Sanders DID meet with the staff concerned about sexual harassment) so then black staff published this 👇🏽& were still IGNORED. google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…

Update on the Census citizenship questionnaire case: DOJ Civil Rights Division Acting AAG John Gore's deposition will take place on Friday. Other outstanding depositions, with the exception of Sec. Ross (whose deposition is on hold by SCOTUS order) will take place by Sunday.
DOJ, meanwhile, is asking for the Census case trial to be put on hold — in large part b/c of comments made in Gorsuch's partial dissent from Monday night. DOJ filed a letter — documentcloud.org/documents/5018… — making the stay request on Tuesday. Here is DOJ's summary of it today:
Here is DOJ's letter from today, which was ordered by the district court to update the court on several pending matters: documentcloud.org/documents/5018… / DOJ exhibit email: documentcloud.org/documents/5018…

Ahead of Zuckerberg's Congress testimony, a quick revision guide.
All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
