Flo Health verdict a big win for privacy – Meta will appeal
The California jury in the Flo Health data class action ruled Meta violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act by collecting user private health data without consent and using it for ad tracking.
Meta, which took the case to court in contrast with Google and others that opted to settle, plans to appeal the decision. This is considered a big loss for Meta and a decision that should serve as a warning to other companies on duty of care for sensitive health data.
