RTE star Miriam O’Callaghan says that her legal action against the High Court put a strain on her family life.
The 62-year-old settled her case against Facebook, now known as Meta, after her name and image were used in fake ads found on the platform. Meta unreservedly apologised for the error and have since made it easier for Irish users to report misleading ads through a new online tool.
Miriam said that the court case caused her mother significant stress due to the cost of legal action. The broadcaster said her mother was terrified Miriam would lose her home as a result of the expensive fees.
