Fortescue Metals boss Andrew Forrest has launched criminal proceedings against Facebook claiming the social media giant failed to stop clickbait advertising scams using his image.
The action alleges the tech giant breached federal anti-money laundering laws and is being taken in the Magistrates Court of Western Australia, Dr Forrest's home state.
It is the first time Facebook, rebranded as Meta last year, has faced criminal charges globally, Dr Forrest says.
