Meta, Plaintiff Agree to Dismiss Vicarious Liability Claims Over Hacked Accounts

Plaintiff Stacey Barrus and defendant Meta agreed to dismiss all of Barrus’ vicarious liability claims with prejudice because the case is resolved, said their joint motion for dismissal Wednesday (docket 5:23-cv-00776) in U.S. District Court for Western Texas in San Antonio. Barrus alleged Meta let an unknown John Doe hack his Facebook and Instagram business accounts, and he could no longer gain access to either account (see 2306210020).
