A judge has dismissed a lawsuit accusing Meta of violating privacy laws.
The suit had alleged that Meta’s lax privacy policies led to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, as reported earlier by The New York Times.
According to the ruling, Judge Ross argues that Meta took a number of enforcement actions against the third-party app in question, ordered it to delete the data it had on users, and started an investigation.
It also states that while the District may disagree with Facebook’s approach to the situation, there was no legal basis that required Facebook to act differently due to the recent scandal.
This is quite different from the case originally filed by Racine back in 2011.
At the time, Racine accused Facebook of misleading its customers about the amount of information third party apps can obtain from users.
Although he later alleged that Mark Zuckerberg was directly responsible for the net’s privacy policies, this was dismissed on account of insufficient evidence.
