Meta Takes Legal Action Against Surveillance Company for Scraping 600,000 Accounts

Meta, a social media management platform, has filed a lawsuit against Voyager Labs, a surveillance company, accusing it of creating tens of thousands of fake accounts to scrape data from more than 600,000 Facebook users’ profiles. The company claims that Voyager Labs pulled information such as posts, likes, friend lists, photos, and comments, along with other details from groups and pages. Meta also claims that Voyager Labs masked its activity using its Surveillance Software and scraped data from Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Telegram to sell and license for profit.
