Plaintiff-side federal experience
Federal class action brought as named plaintiff. The settlement drove industry-side reform on covert HTML5 mobile tracking. Procedural posture, discovery scope, and class certification arguments matter for expert engagements that touch digital privacy, mobile tracking, or healthcare data programs.
Contemporaneous coverage in WIRED, titled "Lawsuit Targets Mobile Advertiser Over Sneaky HTML5 Pseudo-Cookies," is the public record of the case.
Levine et al. v. Google, Inc. A second federal class action filed in the Northern District of California on behalf of named plaintiffs in the Hillman family. Same plaintiff-side discipline applied at scale.
