LONDON, Jan 30 — Facebook today asked a London tribunal to block a collective lawsuit valued at up to £3 billion over allegations the social media giant abused its dominant position to monetise users’ personal data.

Legal academic Liza Lovdahl Gormsen, who is bringing the case, said Facebook users were not properly compensated for the value of personal data that they had to provide to use the platform. But Meta said the lawsuit was"entirely without merit” and should not be allowed to proceed. Its lawyers said the claimed losses ignore the"economic value” Facebook provides.

A decision to certify collective proceedings will depend on whether the tribunal decides that the individual cases can appropriately be dealt with together, rather than on their merits.
