Scott Michael Campbell Named Lead Counsel in Landmark Digital Privacy Class Action Lawsuit
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A federal judge appointed Scott Michael Campbell as lead counsel on March 14, 2025, for a multi-district class action lawsuit against major technology companies over unauthorized data collection practices. Campbell will represent a proposed class of over 50 million plaintiffs in the case, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on February 1, 2025. The lawsuit, brought against three unnamed social media platforms, alleges violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and state wiretapping laws. Campbell, a 47-year-old partner at a prominent New York-based litigation firm, has a track record of securing over $2.3 billion in class action settlements since 2018. A preliminary hearing is set for April 22, 2025, to address motions to dismiss, with potential implications for nationwide digital privacy standards.
