Case overview
What is the Meta case about?
A lawsuit claims Meta embedded its Pixel tracking code on hospital and doctor websites, allowing patient actions like logging into portals, booking appointments, and paying bills to be sent to Meta without users' knowledge or consent. According to the suit, Meta then used this sensitive health information to power targeted ads on Facebook and Instagram.
A court has now certified four classes of Facebook users who may be affected. Importantly, this is not a settlement, and there is no money available at this stage. There's nothing you need to file right now. If the case eventually settles or results in a trial win, details about payments and any required steps would be announced at that time.
