Facebook is being hit with Lawsuit for scanning private messages being sent on Facebook. Do you think this is the end?

The main purpose of private messages is for users on Facebook to see them as "Private". Facebook has been accused of scanning those private messages to get information and content and being sold to third parties such as advertisers. Do you think Facebook has the right to scan "Private" messages being sent to users on the platform?

lol no. they will be happy to pay billions rather than closing FB. It has happened to Google and other companies previously in many countries but i only see them growing. It is just the tip of the iceberg that they are willing to take risk and pay if things go wrong.
