And for those who have tracked the Cambridge Analytica cases, I remind you the DC AG on this exec committee also has his own '18 suit awaiting Judge's decision on depositions/discovery of top FB execs. And this section is mysteriously and unusually redacted. That's all folks. /18
one more tweet for those who read to end. This thread focused mostly on the data/privacy piece of suit. The evidence of "buy or bury" efforts Onavo, Insta, WhatsApp, etc is very compelling. antitrust minds who don't want to argue consumer welfare will also highlight them! /19
Inserting this previous thread to connect some dots. OK, dinner time. Next comes the FTC complaint vs Facebook. What's that you say? Yes, they filed also. Very similar but a few nuances. https://twitter.com/jason_kint/status/1333646257294864385?s=20
since a few asked about Cambridge Analytica redactions, here is the case brought by @AGKarlRacine (on exec committee of state case filed today). On Sept 7th, Judge stated she would rule on depositions/discovery of Sandberg, Kaplan, Schrage & Zuckerberg.

OK, now sharing some other threads. Pleased to see @linamkhan also praising the statesâ suit. Lina was on staff of Judiciary Committee during its impressive antitrust investigation, wrote the Antitrust Paradox about Amazon and is way smarter than me so good to see this thread. https://twitter.com/linamkhan/status/1336828056695136259
And here is @matthewstoller who wrote Goliath among other things. Also deep on antitrust. His thread. https://twitter.com/matthewstoller/status/1336824319452835843
Good point on press coverage miss by @superwuster. https://twitter.com/superwuster/status/1336805928587448323
