Meta faces class action over tracking of patients' health data
Original: Meta Tracks Patients' Medical Appointments, Prescriptions, and Health Conditions as Judge Certifies Class Action https:/
A US judge has certified a class action lawsuit alleging that Meta tracked patients' medical appointments, prescriptions, and health conditions through the Meta Pixel tool embedded in health websites. The case centres on claims that sensitive health data was shared with the company without consent. The certification allows millions of potentially affected patients to sue collectively, intensifying scrutiny of Meta's data collection practices.
Why now: The class certification is a major procedural step in a high-profile privacy lawsuit involving sensitive medical data.
