WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Thursday sided with Facebook in a lawsuit over unwanted text notifications it sent, rejecting a claim that the messages violated the federal ban on robocalls.
The high court's ruling for the Menlo Park, California-based social media giant was unanimous. The case was brought by a man who received text messages from Facebook notifying him that an attempt had been made to log in to his account from a new device or browser.
The man, Noah Duguid, said he never had a Facebook account and never gave Facebook his phone number. When he was unable to stop the notifications, he filed a class action lawsuit.
