FTC sues Hims & Hers, alleging it shared people’s health data with Meta and Snap(CBS NEWS) – CBS News reports that the Federal Trade Commission sued Hims & Hers on Wednesday, alleging the telehealth platform shared customers’ health information with third-party platforms, including Meta and Snap, without their consent. The complaint, filed in federal court in the Northern District of California, alleged that Hims & Hers shared the data despite promising to protect consumers’ privacy. “Hims was only able to create audiences with such specificity because it flouted the promises it made to its users about treating their medical conditions ‘privately’ or keeping their health information private,” the FTC said. The FTC alleged that Hims & Hers disclosed user information through tracking technologies “offered by Meta” that monitor people’s actions on its website and by sharing lists of some customers with third parties. The health service also shared information with other advertising platforms, according to the consumer protection agency.
