Published by Crandall Consulting · Informational litigation intelligence · Last substantive update: October 11, 2026

Docket / citation: 3:22-cv-03580 · Filed: 2022-06-17

Summary

ConsentStack reviews multiple Meta Pixel lawsuits, reported settlements without admissions of wrongdoing, class-certification denials, and statutory developments. Its flagship healthcare case alleges that hospital patient portals sent health-related information to Meta; claims survived in part, but class certification remained unresolved as of October 2, 2026. The source also reports that California SB 690 changes who may bring certain website and app pen-register claims beginning January 1, 2027.

Litigation Status

Status, direction, and weight describe how tracked public sources characterize this matter as of our last review — they are informational classifications, not legal assessments.

Procedural Posture

Claims survived in part at the pleading stage; a class-certification decision remained pending as of the source's publication.

Reported Holding

The source reports that the court granted in part and denied in part Meta's motion to dismiss, allowing Wiretap Act, CIPA, contract, and unjust-enrichment claims to proceed.

What the Court Decided

The court denied a preliminary injunction on December 22, 2022, and partially granted and partially denied the motion to dismiss on September 7, 2023. Class certification was argued on June 12, 2026; trial dates were vacated on July 7 while the court prepared its certification opinion.

What the Court Did Not Decide

The pleading ruling did not establish liability or the truth of the allegations. According to the source, no class-certification order appeared on the public docket as of October 2, 2026.

Significance

Neutral / mixed significance. Characterizations of significance describe how the matter has generally been discussed in tracked public sources; individual holdings are often narrow, procedural, or fact-specific, and this page does not state or imply broader holdings than the sources support.

What This Page Does and Does Not Say

This page reports what our tracked public sources say about this matter — including, where identified, the procedural posture (for example, a ruling on a motion to dismiss is not a final merits decision).

What This Matter May Mean for Website Operators

For operators using similar technologies, the recurring factual questions in matters like this one are whether advertising pixels transmit page URLs or hashed form data before a consent choice. Our scanner tests these behaviors empirically.

Because this matter is pending, anything reported here is procedural — allegations and interim rulings, not final determinations.

Detection of a similar technology on a website is an informational risk indicator, not a legal conclusion, and nothing in this section is legal advice.
