According to Bloomberg's September 17 news, Facebook was again sued for allegedly monitoring Instagram users and accused of using cell phone cameras without authorization.
This lawsuit stems from media reports in July, when it was reported that Instagram was still trying to use the iPhone camera when it was not actively used.
Facebook denied the relevant report, saying that a bug caused an error notification that Instagram was accessing the iPhone camera, and the bug was being fixed.

First month
Facebook has been accused of collecting and storing biometric data of more than 100 million Instagram users and profiting from it without their informed consent. The lawsuit was submitted to the Redwood City State Court in the San Francisco Bay Area on August 10.
The litigation file also mentioned that in early 2020, Facebook began to remind Instagram users that it was collecting biometric data.
In response, a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement that “this lawsuit is groundless” and that “Instagram does not use facial recognition technology.”
