Court documents say Facebook allowed Netflix to view users' private messages to tailor content

According to a lawsuit, Facebook's parent company Meta allegedly allowed Netflix to access its users' private messages in the "last decade" to help the streaming giant better customize content for its own users. The court documents, unsealed on March 23, are part of a major antitrust lawsuit filed against Meta last April. The class-action lawsuit was filed by two US citizens, Maximilian Klein and Sarah Grabert, who accused Netflix and Facebook of having a "special relationship" and allowing the streaming website to "customize access" to user data.
