🏢 About Facebook Lawsuits

Why Is Facebook Being Sued?

Facebook's most significant settlements include: a $650 million Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) settlement over facial recognition tagging of photos without user consent (one of the largest privacy settlements in history), a $725 million settlement over the Cambridge Analytica data scandal where third-party apps harvested data from up to 87 million users, and a $90 million settlement over tracking users across non-Facebook websites via the "Like" button after they logged out. Meta has also faced lawsuits over Instagram's harmful effects on minors, deceptive ad metrics, and WhatsApp privacy practices.
