Human rights campaigner, Tanya O'Carroll , has succeeded in forcing social media giant Meta not to use her data for targeted advertising.

The agreement is contained in a settlement to an individual challenge she lodged against Meta ’s tracking and profiling.

The case had been due to be heard in the English High Court on Monday , but the settlement ends the legal action.

O’Carroll says the settlement sets a precedent that should allow others to exercise the same right to object to direct marketing.
