Lawsuit Accuses Facebook Parent Meta Of Misguiding Investors Regarding Apple's Privacy Policy

Meta Apple Facebook FB Google
  • A proposed class-action lawsuit alleged Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:FB) misguided investors into believing that the impacts of privacy tweaks to Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS software for iPhones "were manageable," Bloomberg reports.
  • The lawsuit corroborated that Meta made the statement before disclosing its expectation to lose $10 billion in ad revenue in 2022 due to the changes.
  • The lawsuit claimed that Meta only "fully revealed" the "significant headwinds" for Meta's advertising business after it announced a grim earnings report on February 2.
