It makes no allegation that any of them were involved in the alleged “hacking” of the Chapter page or obtained or altered information on that page in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(2).

TST, however, leaves the court no basis to allocate its alleged losses between those due to a temporary “lost ability to communicate” (which are not cognizable) and the loss of its members...Accordingly, the court GRANTS Defendants’ motion to dismiss TST’s CFAA claim based on Mr. Johnson’s “hacking” of the Chapter page.</blockquote>Tortious interference:<blockquote>The court concludes that TST has, with its second amended complaint, plausibly alleged that Defendants had knowledge of the business relationship between Facebook and TST...With respect to the fourth element, the court concludes that TST has sufficiently pleaded that Defendants acted with an improper purpose—to harm the Chapter, create a competitor organization, and divert donations to that competitor. Although Defendants are correct that the “improper means” prong of the fourth element requires a violation of a “statute, regulation, common law rule, or professional standard,” the “improper purpose” prong bears no such requirement....Because TST has now plausibly alleged facts to support each element of its tortious interference with business expectancy claim, the court DENIES Defendants’ motion to dismiss the claim.</blockquote>Trespass and conversion of chattels:<blockquote>Defendants contend that TST has failed to allege either (1) damages flowing from Defendants’ trespass to or conversion of the Chapter page, or (2) facts supporting its entitlement to prospective injunctive relief. (See Mot. at 18-19.) The court agrees with Defendants. To state a claim for prospective injunctive relief, a plaintiff must plausibly allege an imminent future injury...Because TST has not done so here, the court DISMISSES its trespass and conversion claims based on Defendants’ interference with the Chapter page.</ins></div></td></tr>

Indeed, the only mentions of the phrase “The Satanic Temple 2: Electric Boogaloo” in the second amended complaint are in paragraphs alleging that Defendants “provisionally” used that phrase as the name for their alleged competitor organization; it makes no factual allegations that would allow the court to draw the plausible inference that such an organization exists. And the only mention of the phrase in TST’s exhibits to its second amended complaint is what appears to be a third-party comment on Mr. Sullivan’s Facebook page proposing possible names, including “The Satanic Temple 2: The Second One” and “S2: The Mighty Satanists.”...Because TST fails to plausibly allege that Defendants are making a commercial use of TST’s famous or distinctive mark, its FTDRA claim cannot survive. The court GRANTS Defendants’ motion to dismiss TST’s FTDRA claim.</blockquote>The deadline for TST to file an amended complaint addressing the permitted deficiencies was 11:59pm on April 29, 2022. TST elected not to file an amended complaint. Nor did they file for a deadline extension to file an amended complaint. Consequently, while the state law allegations were permitted to proceed to discovery, the federal allegations remained dismissed, exposing TST to a motion to dismiss under FRCP 12(b)(1) - lack of subject matter jurisdiction.</ins></div></td></tr>

This circuit has already considered and rejected that argument. Violating a company’s terms of use (here, the Code of Conduct) is insufficient to state a CFAA claim....The Satanic Temple does not claim that it prohibited Defendants from accessing its Facebook accounts altogether, yet they accessed it anyway. Nor does it claim that it restricted Defendants’ access to certain features of those accounts, yet Defendants wandered where they were not allowed. Instead, it claims that it restricted Defendants’ use of those accounts through its </ins>Code of Conduct<ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">, which Defendants violated, an argument squarely rejected in ''Nosal''. At most, The Satanic Temple alleges that Defendants have misappropriated the authority granted to them. But the CFAA is an “anti-hacking statute,” not a “misappropriation statute.” Defendants may have very well abused their authority, but The Satanic Temple has not alleged that they exceeded it.</blockquote>Cyberpiracy:<blockquote>This claim fails for one reason. The “domain in question” is not in fact “facebook.com/TheSatanicTempleWashington.” The “domain name” is “facebook.com.” And The Satanic Temple does not claim to own it. Its trademark lies in the post-domain path, which does not constitute a “domain name” under the ACPA. As explained above, the statute defines the term “domain name,” and the case law provides further clarification. The Satanic Temple’s claim fails under both. In reverse order, cases in this circuit explain that there are two parts to a domain name, a top-level and a second-level. Post-domain paths are not included in that combination. Here, the top-level is “.com,” and the second-level is “facebook.” The Satanic Temple’s trademark is contained in neither.</blockquote>Tortious interference:<blockquote>As to these elements, The Satanic Temple’s allegations fall short. It does not allege that Defendants knew about the Facebook pages’ pecuniary value or knew that there was some business arrangement between Facebook and The Satanic Temple. At best, it alleges that “Defendants had subjective knowledge of the business relationship.” This conclusory recitation of the second element is insufficient to state a claim. Likewise, The Satanic Temple does not allege that the interference was wrongful beyond the interference itself—no alleged violation of a statute, regulation, common law rule, or professional standard.</blockquote>Washington's Consumer Protection Act:<blockquote>The parties argue only a few of the CPA elements. Defendants say that The Satanic Temple has failed to allege that the unfair or deceptive acts here occurred “in trade or commerce,” given that neither party sells assets or services. The Satanic Temple, on the other hand, argues that “[c]ommerce is implicated by the stolen Facebook pages because they have an economic value” to The Satanic Temple. The Court need not settle that dispute. To state a CPA claim, The Satanic Temple must allege all five elements. One element, unaddressed by either the parties’ briefing or the complaint, is that an unfair or deceptive act must “affect the public interest.” On this score, all The Satanic Temple alleges is that Defendants “deceive[d] the public with a deliberate, willful intent to disparage or pass off competitor services as those of T[he Satanic Temple].” This conclusory allegation fails to satisfy the third CPA prong. It fails to allege that “other plaintiffs have been or will be injured in the same fashion.” And the other four public interest facts are equally unaddressed.</blockquote>The first four complaints were dismissed with leave to be amended and brought forth in a revised complaint. However, the defamation allegation was dismissed with prejudice on the grounds that adjudicating it would run afoul of the establishment of church and state. From Jones:<blockquote>The Court agrees with Defendants. The doctrine of ecclesiastical abstention applies. The Court may not resolve the defamation claim without delving into doctrinal matters. To determine whether Defendants’ statements were defamatory, the Court or jury must inevitably determine that the statements were false. That would require the Court or jury to define the beliefs held by The Satanic Temple and to determine that ableism, misogyny, racism, fascism, and transphobia fall outside those beliefs. That the Court cannot do without violating the First Amendment.</blockquote></ins></div></td></tr>
