Calif. Judge Relates Privacy Case to Consolidated Meta Pixel Action

A privacy complaint against Meta, E.H. v. Meta Platforms (docket 3:23-cv-04784), is related to In Re: Meta Pixel Healthcare Litigation (docket 3:22-cv-03580), said U.S. District Judge for Northern California William Orrick’s Friday order. The September privacy complaint alleges the Meta Pixel tracking code collects information such as prescriptions, diagnoses and symptoms, which “even close friends and family might not have known about,” from third-party businesses’ websites and sends it to Meta, whether or not a user has a Facebook account.
