Businessman Tomoko Maezawa posted on X on November 10 that he was considering appealing a lawsuit against U.S. Meta over “impersonation ads” on social media that used his name and photographs without permission. The Tokyo District Court dismissed Maezawa’s claim the same day.
In his post, Maezawa wrote that the ruling held “Meta has no obligation to detect and remove fraudulent ads,” and questioned, “Does that mean it’s okay to just ignore them? Is that really how it should be?”
