    “LIA is one of the world’s finest festivals of creativity and it is a great honor to preside over the LIA Non-Traditional jury,” said Tutssel. “This category is for people who believe in creativity over conformity. It’s for those with the courage to throw caution to the wind; those who embrace the untried and untested, the unexpected and the unconventional. Our ideas need to move at the speed of culture and land with seismic strength. They need the impact to shape attitudes and transform behavior. More than ever before, successful brands need to be guided by creative intuition and fuelled by bravery. The Non-Traditional category is where you’ll find them. After all, world-changing ideas never come from comfort zones.”

    Supreme Court Allows Multibillion-Dollar Class Action Lawsuit To Proceed Against Meta

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    The Supreme Court is allowing a multibillion-dollar class action investors' lawsuit to proceed against Facebook parent Meta, stemming from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm.

    The justices heard arguments in November in Meta's bid to shut down the lawsuit. On Friday, they decided that they were wrong to take up the case in the first place.

    The high court dismissed the company's appeal, leaving in place an appellate ruling allowing the case to go forward.

    Investors allege that Meta did not fully disclose the risks that Facebook users' personal information would be misused by Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump 's first successful Republican presidential campaign in 2016.

    Cambridge Analytica had ties to Trump political strategist Steve Bannon. It had paid a Facebook app developer for access to the personal information of about 87 million Facebook users. That data was then used to target U.S. voters during the 2016 campaign.

    The lawsuit is one of two high court cases involving class-action lawsuits against tech companies. The justices also are wrestling with whether to shut down a class action against Nvidia.... Read More
