Meta said it’s suing “scraping-for-hire” service Voyager Labs for allegedly using fake accounts, proprietary software, and a sprawling
network of IP addresses to surreptitiously collect massive amounts of
personal data from users of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other
social networking sites.
“Defendant created and used over 38,000 fake Facebook user accounts
and its Surveillance Software to scrape more than 600,000 Facebook
users’ viewable profile information, including posts, likes, friends
lists, photos, and comments, and information from Facebook Groups and
Pages,” lawyers wrote in Meta’s complaint. “Defendant designed the Surveillance Software to conceal its presence and activity from Meta
and others, and sold and licensed for profit the data it scraped.”
