Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit from former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee against Meta for using his likeness in advertisements for CBD products. Huckabee claimed the ads falsely suggested he endorsed the products, but the judge ruled that he failed to prove Meta acted with actual malice or knew the ads were fraudulent. While the judge acknowledged that Meta could be categorized as an information content provider and not immunity under the Communications Decency Act, Huckabee did not establish valid claims of invasion of privacy or unjust enrichment.
