Facebook, under the Project Ghostbusters, allegedly decrypted Snapchat traffic to copy it, using Onavo VPN on iOS and Android between 2016 and 2019. Unsealed court documents reveal Meta's secret program to obtain data analytics about Snapchat, YouTube, and Amazon, leading to accusations of wiretapping and data interception. Mark Zuckerberg requested the development of the In-App Action Panel (IAAP) in 2016 to gather proprietary data from competitors. The program involved snooping on encrypted network traffic to study user behavior, causing controversy within the company. Meta, accused of intercepting and decoding network traffic, spied on Snapchat users to compete with the app, aiming to confuse advertisers and gain a competitive edge. The covert project, codenamed Project Ghostbusters, involved Meta allegedly installing cookies to wiretap Facebook users' Snapchat, YouTube, and Amazon activities, creating 'kits' installed on iOS and Android devices.
