Meta was forced to pay users $90 million in decade long lawsuit involving cookies
Meta’s no stranger to privacy settlements. Earlier this year, the company announced it would pay $90 million to settle a decade-old lawsuit that accused the company of tracking certain users with cookies even after they had left the Facebook site. In addition to the penalty, Meta agreed to delete all of the data it collected during that period between 2010 and 2011, according to The Associated Press. Lawyers speaking with the AP said this marked one of the most expensive privacy violations in U.S. history.
