Meta hit with $3.2 billion class action suit over alleged exploitation of UK Facebook users
A legal expert has teamed with a litigation firm to sue Meta on behalf of 44 million Facebook users in the UK, claiming that they had their data exploited in violation of competition laws,The lawsuit was filed by competition law specialist Dr. Liza Lovdahl Gormsen, and is being funded by Innsworth, a law firm that takes on cases in exchange for a share of damages won. It claims that even though users don't pay to use Facebook, they surrender data that has considerable value.
She added that Facebook has become"the sole social network in the UK where you could be sure to connect with friends and family in one place." And even as it locked users into its ecosystem , it was tracking users across other websites as well."It abused its market dominance to impose unfair terms and conditions on ordinary Britons giving it the power to exploit their personal data," according to Lovdahl Gormsen.
