Footnote #1 in the linked document states:
"It is Advertisers’ position—backed up by voluminous evidentiary background and analysis,
which Advertisers would welcome the opportunity to share with the Court should Meta dispute
any aspect of Advertisers’ contention—that Meta’s IAAP program didn’t just harm competition,
but criminally violated 18 U.S.C. § 2511(1)(a) and (d) by intentionally intercepting SSL-protected
analytics traffic addressed to secure Snapchat, YouTube, and Amazon servers." 18 U.S.C. § 2511(1)(a) and (d) are provisions of the federal Wiretap Act. Subsection (1)(a) makes it a crime to intentionally intercept, endeavor to intercept, or procure any other person to intercept or endeavor to intercept, any wire, oral, or electronic communication. Subsection (1)(d) makes it a crime to intentionally use, or endeavor to use, the contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained through the interception of a wire, oral, or electronic communication in violation of this subsection. For criminal prosecutions, the general five-year statute of limitations for non-capital federal crimes applies, as per 18 U.S.C. § 3282(a). |
