A $8 billion-dollar class action investors’ lawsuit against Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and company leaders begins, with claims stemming from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm.

An $8 billion trial by Meta Platforms shareholders against Mark Zuckerberg and other current and former company leaders kicks off on Wednesday over claims that they illegally harvested the data of Facebook users in violation of a 2012 agreement with the U.

The Meta trial comes four months after Delaware lawmakers overhauled the state's corporate law to make it harder for shareholders to challenge deals struck with controlling shareholders like Zuckerberg. The bill, which did not address Caremark claims, was drafted after the state's governor met with representatives of Meta.
