Wissam Al Mana sued Facebook over fake crypto ads

Dublin: American pop singer-actor Janet Jackson’s ex-husband has sued Facebook over fake cryptocurrency ads that used his name to mislead people into buying crypto ads on the platform. Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana sued Facebook in Dublin, Facebook’s European headquarters, claiming “defamation, malicious falsehood and false advertising” by an unnamed cryptocurrency firm that used his image to promote itself in the Middle East without his permission, cointelegraph.com reported on Monday. Estimated to be at least worth 1 billion euro, Al Mana recently clarified he has no social media accounts and that any profiles linked to him “should not be quoted or used as a source of accurate information”. Al Mana was married to Jackson between 2012 and 2017. He owns exclusive regional rights to brands such as Harvey Nichols, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, and Hermes, as well as the McDonald’s franchise for Qatar. Facebook was yet to reach the report.
