A Washington state woman is looking to move forward with a lawsuit accusing Twitter of using phone numbers for advertising targeting in violation of state law, MediaPost reports. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Jones recommended dismissing the lawsuit, stating Twitter’s alleged actions did not violate the law, but Darlin Gray is asking the Seattle judge to reject that recommendation. “Twitter did not create, implement, or execute systems that honored users’ designations as to use of their telephone numbers,” court papers state.
