Am. First Legal Found. v. CDC (D.D.C.) -- in case concerning agency’s efforts to flag COVID-19 misinformation on social media platforms, granting summary judgment to government on its withholdings of meeting agendas and summaries under Exemption 5 and rejecting plaintiff's argument that a government-misconduct exception applied; further, granting summary judgment to agency on Exemption 4 withholding of Meta’s BrandLift ad-measurement records, including estimated pricing, test budget terms, and account numbers; and ordering disclosure of records from CrowdTangle, Meta's tool for tracking how content spreads across Facebook and Instagram, on highly questionable conclusion that Meta's proprietary sorting criteria and keyword taxonomies were not "commercial in and of itself,” but in any event finding that Meta failed to sufficiently restrict third-party access to establish confidentiality.
