Meta loses Nigerian privacy suit over behavioural ads

Original: Meta loses Nigerian privacy suit over behavioural ads, must pay $100,000: Contract is no legal basis for profiling Faceb

A Lagos judge has ruled against Meta in a privacy suit, finding that contract terms are not a lawful basis for profiling Facebook and Instagram users in Nigeria for behavioural advertising. The court ordered the company to pay $100,000 and gave it an eight-week deadline, ending in November, to comply with the judgment.

Why now: The ruling sets a precedent limiting how platforms can use user data for targeted advertising and imposes a compliance deadline.
