By settling, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other defendants avoid having to answer probing questions under oath.
An $8 billion US trial by Meta Platforms shareholders against Mark Zuckerberg and other current and former company leaders kicks off on Wednesday over claims that they illegally harvested the data of Facebook users in violation of a 2012 agreement with the U.
Facebook pledged to alert those users whose personal data was improperly collected by Cambridge Analytica. Facebook also posted a link to updated policies for Instagram , which it owns.
