Facebook can keep texting you, Supreme Court says April 1, 2021 / 3:34 PM / AP Tech CEOs questioned on social media misinformation 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. The court case had to do with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, a 1991 law that bars abusive telemarketing practices. The law restricts calls made using an "automatic telephone dialing system," a device that can "store or produce telephone numbers to be called, using a random or sequential number generator" and then call that number.
