Summary

  • During today’s Meta/Facebook antitrust trial, Apple, Google and Snap have expressed irritation over Meta’s lax redactions in documents shown to the court.
  • Apple and Snap referred to the oversight as ‘egregious’ and indicated that it may make them reluctant to share proprietary information with Meta in the future.
  • Google’s attorney blamed Meta for jeopardising the search engine’s data as a result of the error.
  • Snap has apparently already been unhappy about what it deemed to be confidential information being shared during the opening statements.
  • Mark Hansen, Meta’s attorney, suggested using a third party not involved in the case to make the redactions in the future.
  • He also explained that he did not warn Snap that he was going to refer to their information because they are ‘major competitors’.
