FaceBook's Lawyer Proposes Interesting Defense: There Can Be No "Invasion of Privacy" Lawsuit Against FaceBook, Because There Is No Privacy At All With FaceBook
If this is their legal defense, shouldn't they be legally required to disclose this in huge bold letters in their end-user agreements?
A lawyer for Facebook argued in court Wednesday that the social media site's users "have no expectation of privacy."
According to Law360, Facebook attorney Orin Snyder made the comment while defending the company against a class-action lawsuit over the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
"There is no invasion of privacy at all, because there is no privacy," Snyder said.
In an attempt to have the lawsuit thrown out, Snyder further claimed that Facebook was nothing more than a "digital town square" where users voluntarily give up their private information.
It's also one of those town squares where the authorities can kick you out for disagreeing with their own political preferences.
Buh muh private businesses.
