Former Facebooker alleges Meta drained users' batteries to test apps
A lawsuit claiming Meta ran tests that deliberately degraded performance of its apps in ways that ran down smartphone batteries has been withdrawn after the social network reminded the ex-staffer who brought the case that his contract requires him to take the case to arbitration.
In a list of the pros and cons of performing negative tests, Meta said it likes that"we can control image load delay," but that"long-term implications on engagement" due to user frustration at having their load times adjusted had to be considered. The lawsuit says negative testing is illegal in New York, where Hayward resides and where the suit was filed. Hayward's lawyers argue the tests would violate New York laws on criminal tampering that prohibit damaging a person's property without their consent.
