Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms, has been ordered by a Texas state appeals court to undergo a deposition in Texas’s multibillion-dollar lawsuit. The case alleges that Meta profited from the use of facial recognition technology without user consent, which is claimed to be in violation of state privacy protections. This ruling reinforces the decision of a Texas judge that Zuckerberg must face questioning regarding the social media giant's past use of the technology.
Subpoenas are flying in pension funds suit vs Facebook in Delaware resulting from inspection of its books and board comms (Thiel, Zuckerberg, Andreessen, Sandberg, et al) on why they allegedly overpaid the FTC at $5B to make it go away. Should be interesting how it plays out. /1
