Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is facing a $600 million lawsuit from the Information Media Association (AMI), representing 83 Spanish media outlets. The suit alleges Meta’s violation of the EU’s General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) and accuses the company of gaining an unfair advertising advantage by designing personalized ads on its platforms without user consent.
