Justice Olalekan Oresanya of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja on Tuesday ordered Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of the social network platform Facebook, to pay human rights Lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) $25,000 for the invasion of his privacy by the company.
Justice Oresanya held that a global tech firm like Meta, which hosts pages for commercial purposes, has a duty of care toward individuals impacted by content on its platform.
Falana had dragged the United States of America-based organisation before the court over the publication of a false video about his health status, which he claimed damaged his image and the name he built over the years.
