Meta (Facebook) Android User Class Action Lawsuit
Meta Platforms is facing a class action lawsuit accusing the company of illegally collecting browsing data from Android users without their consent. The lawsuit asserts Meta used a loophole within the Android system to link users’ browsing activity to their Facebook and Instagram accounts, making the information personally identifiable.
The lawsuit alleges that when Android users who had Facebook or Instagram apps installed visited websites containing the Meta Tracking Pixel, their browsing data was automatically connected to their social media profiles. This practice, according to the complaint, violated Android’s security protections and Google’s privacy principles. The lawsuit suggests that Meta’s desire to gather extensive user data for its advertising business motivated these actions, allowing the company to profit from highly detailed user profiles.
The plaintiff is seeking to represent a nationwide class of Android users who had Facebook or Instagram installed and visited websites with the Meta Tracking Pixel between September 2024 and June 2, 2025. The lawsuit cites violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the California Invasion of Privacy Act. The plaintiff demands a jury trial, along with compensatory, punitive, and statutory damages for all affected users.
This case adds to the growing number of legal challenges Meta is facing over its data collection practices. In a separate legal matter, a Massachusetts appeals court recently allowed a class action lawsuit against Meta to proceed, focusing on claims that Instagram is addictive and harmful to children. The mounting lawsuits reflect growing scrutiny over how Meta collects and uses personal data across its platforms.
