NASCAR alleged of unlawfully sharing subscribers' viewing information with Facebook, class action lawsuit to follow 

In a recent legal development, NASCAR finds itself at the center of a class action lawsuit, accused of violating the federal Video Privacy Protection Act.

The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, alleges that NASCAR unlawfully shared the viewing information of its website's subscribers with Facebook, utilizing Meta Platforms Inc.'s tracking tools without proper consent.

According to a report from Bloomberg, the seven plaintiffs leading the class action claim that NASCAR failed to notify its subscribers about the collection and transmission of their viewing data.

According to the complaint, the organization employed Meta's embedded marketing tracking tool, the Meta Pixel, to relay comprehensive viewing histories to Facebook, all without securing the required consent from the affected subscribers.

The Video Privacy Protection Act, designed to safeguard individuals' privacy, mandates companies to inform users and obtain consent before sharing their video viewing history. Failure to adhere to these regulations can have legal consequences, as evidenced by this class action lawsuit against NASCAR.

As proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen what legal consequences await for the stock car racing series.
