Polish billionaire plans to sue Meta over fake advertisements
SUMMARY
Polish billionaire Rafal Brzoska and his wife plan to sue Meta over fake advertisements on Facebook and Instagram that misuse his image and spread false information about her. Despite notifying Meta in early July, the couple claims the company has not taken effective action to remove the ads. Brzoska, founder of the parcel locker company InPost, is considering multiple jurisdictions for the lawsuit, including the U.S. if European authorities fail to act. They are demanding that Meta cease profiting from such misleading content and seek a large compensation to be donated to charity. Last week, Poland's Personal Data Protection Office ordered Meta to stop displaying the false ads for three months. Meta responded by stating that it removes scam content when discovered and works with local authorities to combat such issues.
