Judge Orrick Transfers Meta Pixel Privacy Case to Calif. Court in Related Case Order

U.S. District Judge William Orrick for Northern California in San Francisco signed an order Friday (docket 3:22-cv-03580) relating Santoro v. Meta Platforms to Doe v. Meta Platforms and putting both cases under his watch. The case involves healthcare providers’ use of the Meta Pixel tracking tool on their websites for targeted advertising. In Santoro v. Tower Health and Meta Platforms, plaintiffs Patrick Santoro and Jessica Landis, both of Pennsylvania, allege Tower Health, without their consent, deployed tracking code on its website that caused their personally identifiable information to be transmitted and used “for multiple commercial purposes.”
