The FTC and Los Angeles County have filed a lawsuit against telehealth company Hims & Hers, alleging false advertising, deceptive subscription practices, and the unauthorized sharing of sensitive customer health data with advertising platforms like Meta and Snap.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Digital Health.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Regulators have drawn a clear line on using sensitive health data for ad targeting. If your growth model relies on sending customer information to platforms like Meta or Snap, you now have a direct litigation risk.
