The verdict found Meta had ‘intentionally eavesdropped’ on Flo users’ in-app communications.

On Friday, a federal jury ruled that Meta – the last defendant in a lawsuit that initially also included Google, Flo Health and Flurry – had illegally collected user health data from period and pregnancy tracking app Flo.

The class-action suit was brought by users of period tracking app, Flo, who alleged that the tech giant collected private menstrual health data without users' consent and used it for ad-tracking purposes.
