Meta Contests $25,000 Falana Judgment, Citing Jurisdictional Flaws
Meta has filed an appeal against a Lagos High Court judgment that ordered the company to pay $25,000 in damages to Nigerian lawyer Femi Falana for alleged privacy violations. The appeal argues that the trial court lacked jurisdiction under Nigeria’s fundamental‑rights framework and that the evidence does not support liability for the Facebook video in question. Meta also contends the damages are excessive and that holding it responsible for user‑generated content would set a risky precedent. The outcome could affect how global tech firms manage legal risk in Nigeria and broader African markets.
