Companies that offer chat features on their websites should take note
of five recent federal decisions out of California dismissing
California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) claims relating to the use
of chat features. These decisions, from the Northern, Eastern and
Central District Courts, represent the latest entries to the
jurisprudence and clarify the growing majority view that:

1. The "party exception" remains a viable defense even when companies
use a third party to provide the chat services at issue; and

2. Plaintiffs must provide more than boilerplate, conclusory
statements to plausibly allege "eavesdropping" and data use by a
vendor to survive a motion to dismiss.
