NetChoice Amicus Brief in Support of Meta in In re Meta Platforms

NetChoice joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s amicus brief in the D.C. Court of Appeals supporting Meta’s petition for a writ of mandamus in In re Meta Platforms. The brief highlights two points. First, the Superior Court’s ruling threatens to eliminate in-house counsel’s ability to provide general advice on risk-minimization to clients. Second, at a minimum, the Superior Court’s decision undermines attorney-client privilege by creating confusion and uncertainty about when exceptions to privilege apply.
