What you are saying now sounds contrary to the message that Facebook itself disseminates about privacy.
— U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria of the Northern District of California in a hearing in the privacy litigation against Facebook stemming from the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Judge Chhabria called out the inconsistent statements the social media giant has made, depending on the audience. Facebook’s attorney, Orin Snyder of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, argued that there’s no longer a privacy interest in information people choose to share on Facebook. However, Judge Chhabria was quick to point out that’s not what Facebook has said when called before regulators.
