   State AGs Weigh In Against Facebook In R

   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."
