The lawsuit, originally filed in 2018, centers on the Cambridge Analytica scandal, when a data company collected information from 87 million people without their knowledge.

The case was brought under DC’s Consumer Protection Procedures Act, which prohibits unfair and deceptive business practices. Individuals are responsible for a company’s actions under the law if it can be shown to have knowledge of them at the time of the violation.

“Under these circumstances, Mr. Zuckerberg should be held accountable for his involvement in decisions that have allowed millions of user data to be exposed – and that is why we are adding him to our complaint,” he said. he adds.

Facebook initially filed a request to dismiss the lawsuit, but that request was denied.

Racine’s office expects the case to officially go to trial in early 2023.

A Facebook spokesperson said in a statement that the allegations “are as baseless today as they were over three years ago.”

“We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously and focus on the facts,” they added.
