Based on an ongoing legal investigation, lawyers suspect that CoD Mobile's team might be sending players' private information to platforms like Facebook without consent, thus possibly breaking privacy laws. Moreover, it's been reported that lawyers are planning to take action against Activision, Call of Duty Mobile's publisher.

Lawyers have reasons to suspect that CoD Mobile might be using a tracking tool to secretly send player data from the game to Facebook along with other identified information. The suspected data-sharing practice is reportedly violating the privacy law and may result in the lawyers starting a mass arbitration against Activision.

Now, what's important to note is that if this arbitration is successful, CoD Mobile players could be paid $2,500 each in compensation. Also, this only applies to players who are residents of the United States. In case they are eligible for the compensation amount, they must have their CoD account linked to Facebook while also making any in-app purchases in the game.

Call of Duty Mobile was released almost five years ago and instantly became a global smash hit. In its first week itself, the game reached over 100 million downloads and later reached 500 million downloads in 2021.
