On Friday, a federal jury ruled that Meta – the last defendant in a lawsuit that initially also included Google, Flo Health and Flurry – had illegally collected user health data from period and pregnancy tracking app Flo.

The jury found that Meta violated California’s Invasion of Privacy Act by collecting data from Flo without user consent which violates the state's wiretap law.
