Key ruling

Third Circuit affirmed dismissal: the browser, not Quest, sends data to Meta (party exception); knowing a user viewed results reveals only that treatment occurred.

Status note

DISMISSED Jan. 14, 2025; Third Circuit affirmed Nov. 13, 2025 (non-precedential): no CIPA interception because the browser sends a separate transmission to Meta (party exception); CMIA fails because knowing a user accessed results reveals only that treatment occurred. | Important defense-side appellate ruling.
