When was Meta fined for secretly building a system to track the whereabouts of specific individuals? You may be thinking of Lundy et al v. Meta Platforms, in which they were not fined but agreed to a civil settlement and denied they were doing what was claimed. In that cases, it wasn't even alleged that they were trying to make the locations of specific individuals available for human analysis.

> When was Meta fined for secretly building a system to track the whereabouts of specific individuals? Meta was fined for violating consumer privacy for years, which TikTok has already been doing themselves; but as you can already see they have become even worse than Facebook. > You may be thinking of Lundy et al v. Meta Platforms, You see, even when Meta didn't get fined for that, perhaps it's about time for TikTok to get fined in the billions for violating consumer's privacy in the US and repeated offences should be in the tens of billions of dollars to discourage such activity in the US?

I really hope you have read what I said before commenting. > Stop being a shill for authoritarian governments. If you really cared about privacy you would advocate banning tiktok and banning facebook. Not this whataboutism nonsense. Who's shilling what? I already said I want BOTH of them to be fined in the billions? Since I already disagreed with the spying and privacy violations from what both Facebook and TikTok has done for years. I'd also be in favour of banning all of them if possible. But in the US and given the FTC has given a multi billion dollar fine to Facebook, I'm sure you would want TikTok to have the exact same treatment of a giant fine since they are operating in the US? No? It's not 'whataboutsism' as I've already agreed with the parent comment.

  Ok but you said "Facebook has been fined over this". You admit that's a false claim? Tiktok and Facebook both should be fined for violating the law when there is sufficient evidence that the violation happened. We don't need to make up stories about Facebook to justify investigations into either.
