Facebook Accused of Spying on Snapchat User Data

Allegations surface about 'Project Ghostbusters,' a secret initiative to intercept encrypted data from rivals.

Court documents reveal Facebook's 'Project Ghostbusters' aimed to spy on Snapchat's encrypted user data from 2016 to 2019.
Mark Zuckerberg initiated the project due to concerns over Snapchat's rapid growth and lack of analytics on the platform.
The spyware, developed by Onavo, was also used against YouTube and Amazon, capturing data before encryption.
Meta denies any wrongdoing, stating the plaintiffs' claims are baseless and unrelated to the antitrust lawsuit.
Snapchat has not responded to the allegations.
