Facebook is facing a refiled lawsuit by start-up Six4Three, which alleges the company "weaponised" the data of "one-third of the planet’s population" to shut down competitors and earn Facebook billions of dollars. Six4Three originally filed the suit in 2015, but the new case, filed to a Zuckerberg court, alleges up to 40,000 companies were defrauded in the scheme allegedly overseen by California. Facebook has strenuously denied all allegations and applied to have the lawsuit dismissed, citing first amendment protections.
