A federal judge has ruled that Meta Platforms Inc. must face a class action lawsuit alleging hiring bias against U.S. citizens. The lawsuit claims that the company has engaged in a scheme to predominantly hire foreign workers, specifically H-1B visa holders, for open positions in the U.S. This practice is alleged to be motivated by the ability to pay these workers less than American employees. Currently, 15% of Meta's U.S. workforce holds H-1B visas. The ruling comes amid a broader context of increased scrutiny on Meta, particularly following CEO Mark Zuckerberg's recent comments about the challenges of managing leaks within the company. Additionally, a spokesperson for Meta indicated that more lawsuits may be expected in the wake of these developments. This case is notable as it is one of the first legal challenges since Zuckerberg announced significant changes to the platform and the company itself. Meanwhile, in a separate legal matter, the company behind Stable Diffusion is preparing for a summer trial against Getty Images, demanding clarity on claims related to the use of copyrighted material for training generative AI models.
