Defining the News
Tokyo, Japan—Four scam victims in Japan sued Facebook on Thursday after being hoodwinked by fraudulent online investment ads that used images of celebrities without their consent, their lawyer said.
The four filed the case with Kobe District Court demanding Facebook Japan, owned by US group Meta, pay 23 million yen in damages, according to their lawyer. Maezawa, the founder of Japan’s largest online clothing retailer, became famous internationally after paying to go to the Moon on a future mission operated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.His image is commonly used without his permission by online fraudsters, with one typical advert using the caption: “Started with 10,000 yen. Gained 1.3 million yen in four days.”
