The meta-PDG Mark Zuckerberg and other members of the board of directors of the social media giant paid a trial for shareholders on Thursday, one day after the start of a trial for a court for a court Reaction support of $ 8 billion Linked to the 2018 privacy scandal involving Cambridge Analytica, according to AFP.
In an email at CBS News, Meta refused to comment on the regulations, but stressed that the trial “was a prosecution against Mark Zuckerberg and the directors personally, not Meta platforms”.
The collective recourse of $ 8 billion against Zuckerberg and other meta-directors began on Wednesday, investors saying that the company did not fully disclose the risks that the personal information of Facebook users would be poorly used by the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm.
The shareholders claim that Facebook officials have violated on several occasions and continuously a 2012 consent order with the Federal Trade Commission under which Facebook agreed to stop collecting and sharing personal data on the users of the platform and friends without their consent.
Facebook then sold user data to business partners in direct violation of the consent order and deleted the disclosure of the confidentiality parameters required under the consent order, according to the trial.
The regulations occur the same day as Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the venture capital company Andreessen Horowitz and a member of the Meta board of directors, was to take a stand, AFP reported.
