What happened
A proposed class action against Google LLC, apparently concerning allegations of fraud. The docket also reflects claims against Meta Platforms, Inc., Facebook, Inc., and Instagram, LLC, but does not specify the underlying factual allegations. The court dismissed the amended complaint with prejudice as to Meta and directed plaintiffs to show cause why the case should not be dismissed against Google for failure to serve.
