Facebook and Instagram owner Meta Platforms Inc. faced fresh lawsuits in Japan on Tuesday over advertisements that fraudulently solicited investments with fake celebrity endorsements, with 30 plaintiffs seeking a total of 435 million yen ($2.8 million) in damages. The plaintiffs have argued that the U.S. technology giant and its Japanese arm failed to do enough to prevent the scams, according to their lawyers. The damages suits were filed with district courts in Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama, Chiba and Saitama.
