Meta seeks HC fine for continued CCPA compliance over sales of walkie-talkies

Meta’s senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi said that unlike Amazon and Flipkart, Facebook is not an e-commerce platform but just a “bulletin board” and the CCPA has no “jurisdiction” over it. He believes that Facebook neither provides a buying and selling mechanism nor charges any commission from users. Facebook Marketplace is a free service designed for natural persons to sell or exchange goods in their personal capacity; he added that businesses and commercial sellers are not allowed to create listings. Justice Purushindra Kumar Kaurav on Wednesday listed Meta’s petition for hearing on March 25, asking it to explain how the order could be termed “without jurisdiction”. In January this year, the CCPA ruled that Meta violated the Consumer Protection Act and the Information Technology Rules by allowing walkie-talkies to be listed on Facebook Marketplace without mandatory disclosure.
