The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner is set to negotiate with Meta over its lawsuit against the company for the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the Guardian reports. The OAIC first brought Meta into federal court for alleged privacy violations of more than 300,000 Australian Facebook users in 2020. In March, OAIC lawyers convinced the High Court not to hear a Meta appeal, which allowed the regulator to continue pursuing the breaches in federal court. The federal court has since ruled the OAIC and Meta must agree on a mediator by September before settlement talks begin in October.
