Judge Dismisses WhatsApp Privacy Lawsuit Against Meta
A U.S. federal judge has dismissed a class action lawsuit against Meta (META) brought by non-U.S. parties, ruling that the case lacked sufficient details to meet legal standards for proving intentional deception or fraud. The plaintiffs had alleged that Meta misrepresented user privacy practices in WhatsApp through misleading statements and deceptive conduct. However, the court found these claims too vague to proceed under federal law at this stage. While the lawsuit was dismissed, the judge left open the possibility of refiling with more specific allegations.
