Meta is being sued for collecting data from US hospitals without users’ knowledge, two new lawsuits allege. One lawsuit alleges that medical information was sent to Facebook via the pixel from the University of California San Francisco and Dignity Health patient portals, which resulted in her seeing adverts for her heart and knee conditions some of which had no scientific support. The claims focus on the Meta Pixel, which sends Facebook data whenever they click a button. Do the technology companies ever respect data privacy?
