On Wednesday, Judge Beth Labson Freeman rejected Quora Inc.’s request for a reconsideration of its motion to compel a forensic examination of the electronic devices which the plaintiff used to access Quora in a case alleging a data breach was the company’s fault. 
The question-and-answer social media platform took issue with Magistrate Judge Nathaniel Cousins’ “terse order” denying the motion, arguing that a forensic investigation could determine whether there was malware on the plaintiff’s connected devices. Such information would ostensibly test the plaintiff’s theory of causation because “a failure to meaningfully protect sensitive information residing on her own devices shows a general indifference to data security,” Quora argued.
