Q And did you take care to make sure the 13 responses were accurate to the best of your 14 recollection? 15 A 16 17 Yes. Yes, I did. I'm just trying to 10:41:48 think if there was anything beyond that.

A 12:02:45 What role in that respect? Reviewing the complaint before it was 21 filed, reviewing interrogatory responses, providing 22 12:03:07 documents to counsel for purposes of discovery. 23 24 25 Q Do you know what class you're seeking to represent in this case? A To my understanding, it is the subset of 12:03:31 Page 128 Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127 1 2 3 identification and are attached hereto.) 16:48:10 BY MR. CHORBA: Q Mr. Campbell, the reporter has handed you 4 two documents. 5 Exhibits 9 and 10. 6 We've marked them in sequence 12:07:56 Exhibit 9 is a document captioned "Class 7 Action Complaint." It's file-stamped at the top 8 December 30, 2013. I'll represent to you that's 9 your original complaint against Facebook in this 10 action. 11 12:08:10 Exhibit 10 is filed April 25th, 2014, 12 titled "Consolidated Amended Class Action 13 Complaint." 14 15 Let's start with Exhibit No. 9. Do you recognize this document? 12:08:30 16 A Yes. 17 Q Is this your original complaint against 18 Facebook in this action? 19 A Yes. 20 Q And you reviewed this document before it 21 12:08:35 was filed? 22 A Yes. 23 Q Did you -- do you recall whether or not, 24 yes or no, you made any changes to this before it 25 was filed? 12:08:42 Page 132 Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127 1 2 3 4 A That was a decision by one of the 12:17:18 attorneys involved or all of the attorneys involved. Q Did you review the initial disclosures served on behalf of the plaintiffs in this case? 5 A Yes. 6 Q Did you review the supplemental initial 7 12:17:30 disclosures? 8 A Yes. 9 Q Did you review the responses served on 10 your behalf to Facebook's interrogatories? 11 A Yes. 12 Q 12:17:39 And did you review a set of corrected 13 responses to Facebook's interrogatories? 14 A Yes. 15 Q How about the document requests, responses 16 to the document requests? 17 12:17:49 Did you review those before they were filed? 18 A Yes. 19 Q Did you sign any of these documents? 20 A I don't recall one way or the other. 21 Q Do you remember reviewing all these 22 12:18:03 responses for accuracy? 23 A Yes. 24 Q Did you make every effort to make sure 25 they were correct? 12:18:12 Page 139 Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127 1 A Partly. I'm referring to any of the 2 actions that qualify as a breach of my privacy. 3 It's not necessarily limited to just the instances 4 14:32:07 where the "Like" count increased. 5 Q Okay. Then I'm confused. What other 6 breaches of your privacy other than the conduct I 7 thought we were talking about, which is the 8 14:32:19 transmission of a URL through a private message? 9 A That's distinct from the increased "Like" 10 count. I understood your previous question to be 11 limiting my harms to only when the "Like" count 12 increased. 13 Q 14 that precise. 15 A Okay. 16 Q Let me maybe restart. 17 Fair enough. 14:32:33 I wasn't intending to be 14:32:42 I asked you if you've suffered any harm 18 from your continued use of Facebook. 19 because you understand that conduct had ceased. 20 You said no By "that conduct" in that response, you're 21 referring to the transmission of the URL through a 22 14:32:54 message? 23 24 25 A I'm referring to Facebook's interception of a URL sent in the message, yes. Q An interception for the purpose of 14:33:11 Page 196 Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127 1 2 3 4 5 6 increasing the "Like" count on that page? A 14:33:13 No, the interception itself is the breach of privacy. Q And do you believe that Facebook is continuing to intercept URLs through messages? A 14:33:24 My understanding is that they are not, at 7 least not in the -- my understanding is that they're 8 not continuing the same behavior, which is why I've 9 continued to use the messaging service. 10 Q What's the -- when you say "same 11 behavior," I'm just trying to understand. 12 14:33:38 the specific behavior you're talking about? 13 A What is The interception -- the access of the 14 content of the messages and the related interception 15 of any URLs that are contained therein. 16 17 18 Q 14:33:53 In a way that increases the "Like" count of that URL? A No. Again, that's a separate issue 19 whether there's an increase. I'm saying from the 20 moment when I hit "Send," my understanding is that 21 Facebook is no longer intercepting that URL in any 22 form, regardless of whether Facebook is still going 23 and increasing the "Like" count officially as a 24 result. 25 Q We discussed earlier how -- and you 14:34:11 14:34:26 Page 197 Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127 1 before I hit "Send." I assume that until I hit 2 "Send," Facebook isn't doing anything with it. 3 BY MR. CHORBA: 4 Q Not even rendering a URL preview? 5 A Obviously I don't assume that they don't 14:36:49 6 do that since we've discussed it. 7 14:37:00 I know that they do that. 8 Q So they're doing something. 9 A Again, my understanding was that was just 10 a function of the software. 11 something that the user could choose to include or 12 not include. 13 Q It was -- and it was 14:37:08 On what basis do you base your testimony 14 that there were no more interceptions of messages 15 containing URLs after October 2012? 16 A It's my understanding that's what Facebook 18 Q Where? 19 A 14:37:21 I believe it was discussed in The Wall 17 said. 20 Street Journal article. If not, it might have been 21 information or assurances I received maybe from 22 somebody else. 23 Journal article. 24 Facebook had already said, "We're not doing that 25 anymore." 14:37:34 I assumed it was in The Wall Street That was my understanding, is that 14:37:56 Page 200 Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127 1 Q And by "doing that," do you mean just 2 intercepting generally or incrementing the "Like" 3 14:37:57 count through URLs shared over private message? 4 A Both. 5 Q Have you done anything to verify whether 6 or not Facebook is continuing to engage in the 7 14:38:13 conduct that you challenge in the complaint? 8 MR. CARNEY: 9 THE WITNESS: 10 Object to form. No. I assume that -- no. BY MR. CHORBA: 11 Q 14:38:37 Mr. Campbell, do you have any information 12 or any basis of any kind that Facebook has targeted 13 an ad to you based on something that you put in a 14 message on Facebook? 15 A That Facebook itself has targeted an ad to 17 Q Yes. 18 A Online ads or -- 19 Q Any type of advertising. 20 A As I testified earlier, I don't see ads on 16 14:38:51 me? 21 pretty much any website. 22 14:39:01 that. 23 Q So, no, I haven't seen You mentioned that some websites, they 24 sometimes sneak through. In those instances -- I'm 25 trying to figure out if you have any basis for 14:39:13 Page 201 Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127 1 the actual messages downloaded. But if you could 2 just look quickly at those pages, make sure I have 3 the stack correctly. 4 A Yes. 5 Q And again, I know that we're carving out 14:42:43 6 the Blue Hog Report page and the Pinnacle page, but 7 are these all of the Facebook messages that you've 8 14:42:55 sent, or are these just the ones containing URLs? 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 A They appear to be just the ones containing URLs. 14:43:13 Q But again, that wasn't something you culled from the full list; someone else did that? A Correct. I provided all of them to counsel. Q Is it your claim in this case that 16 Facebook unlawfully scanned or intercepted all of 17 14:43:26 these messages or just some? 18 A All of them that fall within the time 19 frame up to the date where Facebook stopped scanning 20 and intercepting the messages. 21 Q So that October 2012 time frame? 22 A Somewhere in there. 23 Q 14:43:41 And do you know the information that's 24 25 blocked out here or redacted? MR. CARNEY: Object to form. 14:43:59 Page 205 Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127 1 I, the undersigned, a Certified Shorthand 2 Reporter of the State of California, do hereby 3 certify: 4 That the foregoing proceedings were taken 5 before me at the time and place herein set forth; 6 that any witnesses in the foregoing proceedings, 7 prior to testifying, were administered an oath; that 8 a record of the proceedings was made by me using 9 machine shorthand which was thereafter transcribed 10 under my direction; that the foregoing transcript is 11 a true record of the testimony given. 12 Further, that if the foregoing pertains to 13 the original transcript of a deposition in a Federal 14 Case, before completion of the proceedings, review 15 of the transcript [X] was [ ] was not requested. 16 I further certify I am neither financially 17 interested in the action nor a relative or employee 18 of any attorney or any party to this action. 19 20 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have this date subscribed my name. 21 22 Dated: 05/29/2015 23 24 <%signature%> 25 CARLA SOARES CSR No. 5908 Page 294 Veritext Legal Solutions 866 299-5127
