DC judge denies Meta's motion for summary judgment in Cambridge Analytica case
( November 6, 2026, 23:15 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Robert Okun denied Meta Platforms' partial motion for summary in the DC AG's consumer protection lawsuit alleging the company made misrepresentations about its privacy policy in events surrounding the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal. "The Court finds that genuine issues of material fact remain on whether Facebook’s disclosures concerning friend sharing, its enforcement of its platform policies, and the Cambridge Analytica Incident had a tendency to mislead a reasonable consumer, and on whether the challenged representations and omissions were material. Those questions are for the jury," Okun wrote.See attached document....
