    LONDON --

    Jogger Studios, a postproduction studio connected to edit house Cut+Run, has appointed Sophie Hogg as executive producer in London.

    Hogg joins from MPC where she has worked on major campaigns including Honda’s “Up” and brings a wealth of industry and production experience to the studio.

    As part of heading up Jogger London, Hogg will work alongside the studio’s top grading talent Yoomin Lee, and Cut+Run managing director Toby Abbott, to continue to build the Jogger studio alongside Cut+Run, and connect the seamless experience of postproduction and editing under one roof in a streamlined process. This way of working has proven success in projects for U2, Depeche Mode, Agent Provocateur and the BBC. Hogg and Lee’s combined industry experience will complement the range of talent of the Cut+Run edit suites.

    Hogg’s appointment is the next stage of Jogger’s international transformation which sees creative director Andy Brown relocate to LA to spearhead the link of the global operation between LA, New York, San Francisco and London. Hogg and Brown will collaborate closely in the global postproduction offering, which includes VFX, color grading and motion graphics.




    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.

    Inadequacy of the disclosures led to two significant price drops in the price of the company's shares in 2018, after the public learned about the extent of the privacy scandal, the investors say.

    Meta spokesman Andy Stone said the company was disappointed by the court's action. "The plaintiff's claims are baseless and we will continue to defend ourselves as this case is considered by the District Court," Stone said in an emailed statement.

    Meta already has paid a $5.1 billion fine and reached a $725 million privacy settlement with users.

    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
