Facebook to settle its 4-year-old Data Privacy Lawsuit
Meta Platforms Inc’s Facebook has in-principle agreed to settle a lawsuit in the San Francisco federal court seeking damages for letting third parties access the private data of users, for an undisclosed amount.
The lawsuit, which has been going on for four years, alleged that Facebook violated consumer privacy laws by sharing personal data of users with third parties such as the now-inoperative British political consultancy Cambridge Analytica.
The allegation in the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal was that Facebook provided access to the private data of 67 million Facebook users, which was used for voter profiling. It was alleged that personal data belonging to millions of Facebook users was collected in the 2010s without their consent through an app called “This Is Your Digital Life”.
Facebook has said its privacy practices are consistent with its disclosures and do not support any legal claims. The filing asked the judge to put the class action on hold for 60 days until the lawyers for both plaintiffs and Facebook finalize a written settlement.
