|    State AGs Weigh In Against Facebook In R    |

      4dc7e4ac       From: noloader@gmail.com              Advocacy groups, Democratic lawmakers and attorneys general from 36       states and the District of Columbia are urging the Supreme Court to       rule against Facebook in a battle over unwanted text messages.              The fight stems from allegations that Facebook violated a federal       robotexting law by sending text messages about a possible security       breach to Montana resident Noah Duguid, who had apparently been       assigned a recycled phone number. Duguid says the messages repeatedly       notified him his account had been accessed, even though he didn't have       an account with the service.              Duguid claimed in a 2015 class-action complaint that the messages       violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which prohibits       companies from using autodialers to send text messages without       recipients' consent.              The legal battle now at the Supreme Court centers on the Telephone       Consumer Protection Act's definition of "autodialer."              https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/357198/state-ags-       eigh-in-against-facebook-in-battle-over.html              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
