It seems like ever since big tech oligarch Mark Zuckerberg changed Facebook’s name toMeta, the company has faced metastasizing troubles.
In the latest blow, on Thursday Meta lost a major court case when an Austin, Texas, jury found that Meta had violated the intellectual property protections of an app company called Voxer, according to Business Insider, which said it had reviewed a court document detailing the decision.
Voxer went live in 2011; Facebook’s streaming function Facebook Live, which Voxer claims used some of its proprietary technology, began rolling out in August, 2015. In 2020, Voxer filed suit against Facebook, and then pursued separate court action against the tech giant in the U.K. the following year, according to The Register.
