Users Tax Info Sent To Facebook

"A proposed class-action lawsuit filed this week alleges that Meta, Facebook’s parent company, violated users’ trust and expectations of privacy by collecting sensitive financial information from online tax-filing services. 

The lawsuit, filed on Dec. 1 in federal court, accuses Meta of breaking contractual promises to users and, in some cases, violating state and federal law. The action was brought on behalf of anonymous plaintiffs who filed their 2020 taxes online using H&R Block."

"Meta is also facing at least five class-action lawsuits from patients alleging that its pixel’s collection of data on hospital websites violates various state and federal laws."

So far the only known government action are inquiries from Sen Mark Warner and Sen Jon Ossoff.
