Meta illegally collected Flo users’ menstrual data, jury rules
I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
A California jury ruled that Meta illegally collected health data from the Flo period-tracking app, violating state wiretap laws. The lawsuit, initiated in 2021, accused Flo of allowing Meta and Google to access users' private menstrual health data without consent. While other defendants settled, Meta remains liable, facing potential penalties of $5,000 per violation. The verdict emphasizes the need for accountability in protecting digital health data. Meta plans to appeal, asserting that the claims are false and that user privacy is a priority.
