Meta Accused of Illegally Spying on Snapchat User Data Through VPN Service

• Meta allegedly created "Project Ghostbusters" to spy on Snapchat's data analytics from 2016-2019 using their Onavo VPN service.

• Onavo was marketed as private but allegedly used as a "man-in-the-middle" tool to intercept data from rivals like Snapchat.

• Meta executives and lawyers worked on Project Ghostbusters and debated continuing it amid press scrutiny.

• Prosecutors allege Project Ghostbusters violated wiretapping laws and harmed competition in digital advertising.

• Emails show Zuckerberg directly involved in decisions around Project Ghostbusters, though Meta denies this.
