A federal court delivered a landmark decision impacting “trap and trace” software cases in California, denying defendant C2 Educational Systems Inc. a motion to dismiss a class action alleging it violated the California Invasion of Privacy Law (CIPA) through its partnership with TikTok.

“I think it does set a precedent,” said Robert Tauler, an attorney at Los Angeles firm Tauler Smith, who is representing the plaintiff in Dino Moody v. C2 Educational Systems. “It’s the first case effectively saying that software on a website can violate the Trap and Trace Law.” Tauler estimated that his firm has filed at least two-dozen “trap-and trace” cases.
