A lot of new stuff. There was lots of reporting (including Apple threats to boot Facebook) at the time on Facebook's software and Onavo acquisition allowing it to "spy" on competitive apps but I recall the decryption was written as a hypothetical. CEO email kickstarting it. /2

You can read the press back in Jan 2019 spoon fed by Facebook PR to friendlies with no mentions of decrypting SSL then compare to this internal email below sent to Facebook's most senior executives - "currently includes SSL decryption"... /3

court also unsealed (in yellow) a brief re: Netflix whose CEO sat on Facebook's board. The lawsuit allegations are Netflix was one of the companies where Facebook backed off competing in exchange for data to boost its ad targeting signals. Emails after

interview. /4

again, these are from the plaintiffs' briefs (nine of them unsealed) but the yellow parts are a good tease for the upcoming trial. Hastings was in a highly unique role at a pivotal time for Facebook's board of directors. /5

Here is the full unsealed docket item including the allegations against Facebook for "wiretapping" Snapchat including the Zuckerberg emails. /6

"Project Ghostbusters" /7

"trying to build a clone of Snapchat." you don't say, Facebook? /8

Facebook and Netflix's special relationship allegations. /9

Woah. 41 attorneys including twenty-five from WilmerHale says so, so much. /10

The unsealed documents are 735 through 743 in case 3:20-cv-08570-JD which has already been through appeal and is finally headed to trial in likely early 2025 if there isn't a settlement. Sneak peak at FTC case through some of this. Old thread. /11

And the allegations do get worse...seeing the underlying evidence at trial is important. "The company's highest-level engineering executives through the IAAP Program was a legal, technical, and security nightmare...'I can't think of a good argument why this is okay.'" /12

Not getting any good answers on this.

described this testimony by Zuckerberg as "perjury" in real-time in 2020. I'm not sure this new email hurts his case.

First news report I’ve seen around these unsealed briefs. TechCrunch broke some of the original details on the original allegations so good they can build upon it with the emails involving Zuckerberg.

And now

@HaysKali also followed up with the report on the docs I shared last night. Remember me next time you’re trying to keep up with Meta lawsuits. More coming. Cheers.

And

who did get a statement out of Meta as they try to deflect with a quote that deserved inline fact checking considering the project name and newly released Zuckerberg emails I highlighted yesterday are at odds with it. /16 gizmodo.com/project-ghostb…

More press on this lawsuit as reporters dig in. This report focuses on the claims related to Netflix ceo and company. /17
