The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed a multi-billion dollar class-action lawsuit against Meta Platforms Inc. concerning data misuse and privacy breaches related to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. This ruling may set a new precedent for holding technology companies accountable for similar issues. Additionally, Meta is scheduled to face trial in April 2025 over allegations from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that it acquired Instagram and WhatsApp to eliminate competition, with claims that the company overpaid for these platforms to maintain its social media monopoly. Furthermore, in Spain, Meta will go to trial in October 2025 due to a €551 million lawsuit filed by over 80 media companies, alleging unfair competition in advertising and violations of EU data laws. The plaintiffs assert that Meta's actions from 2018 to 2023 constituted significant data abuse, undermining fair competition in the advertising market.
