Maybe it's just because the latter evokes that speech from the Heath Ledger joker, making it less serious.

Meta has been accused of harvesting user data without consent in a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit by company shareholders against chief executive Mark Zuckerberg.

The case dates back to a 2018 scandal, which saw the data of millions of Facebook users accessed by a now-defunct political consulting firm.

The firm, Cambridge Analytica, worked for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

Now, Meta shareholders are suing Mr Zuckerberg and several current and former company executives, claiming they violated a 2012 agreement to protect user data.

They want Mr Zuckerberg and his co-defendants to reimburse the company for more than $US8 billion ($12.2 billion) in fines and other costs Meta paid following the controversy.

Mr Zuckerberg has dismissed the allegations in court filings as "extreme claims".

Jeannie Paterson, who specialises in consumer protection and AI regulation, said the lawsuit was "unusual".

"This is an action by some minority shareholders against the company they hold shares on, and they're saying that the bad behaviour of the company … would have caused them loss, for which they should be compensated for by the directors," Professor Paterson, from the University of Melbourne, said.

Google’s Android, the world’s most widely used mobile operating system, started life as open-source software. In its quest for ever-greater profits, the tech giant has been gradually eroding Android’s open-source nature over the last decade.

The new report estimates that coverage losses could lead to delayed care, increased hospitalizations and more deaths. Its findings echo a study published in June.

The Medicaid cuts in Donald Trump’s domestic policy bill could result in more than 1,000 additional deaths every year, according to a report published Wednesday in JAMA Health Forum.

The cuts could also lead to nearly 100,000 more hospitalizations each year, the report found, and around 1.6 million people may delay seeking care.

The projections are at odds with comments made by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who downplayed the bill’s impact during an interview with Fox Business Network’s Larry Kudlow on Monday.
