This caused quite a lot of noise as Facebook was already infamous due to its shenanigans regarding the privacy of users’ data and information. People only settled after hearing Facebook’s loss in Court. Google also suffered from such an incident too recently, but in India, “Partial Victory for Google in India’s Android Antitrust Case“
