FuboTV Settles Lawsuit Over Illegal Sharing of User Data

Sports streaming service FuboTV has agreed to pay $3.4 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging the unlawful distribution of users' personally identifiable information (PII) without consent. The lawsuit claimed Fubo violated the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) by sharing user viewing history with third-party advertisers for targeted advertising without informed consent. While Fubo's privacy policy stated it only shared non-PII data, the plaintiff argued that Fubo shared PII without obtaining user consent.
