"There is a current class action lawsuit against Meta in which court documents include claims that the company had breached the Wiretap Act."
This is not a wiretapping case. The claims are all for violations of the Sherman Act. Plaintiffs' attorneys _incidentally_ found evidence during discovery that Facebook may have breached the Wiretap Act. There are no wiretapping claims. It is an antitrust case.
Doesn't this violate the DMCA too? This is circumventing an encrypted system.
Does the DMCA not have enough teeth for something on this scale? Maybe an issue of standing or provable-damages? Did the plaintiffs forget about it? Curious and confused.
