In short: Australian billionaire Andrew Forrest is taking social media giant Meta to a US federal court over scam ads using his likeness without permission.

The mining magnate says he "has been plagued for years by paid ads and sponsored content produced by Meta Ads and run on Meta's Australian social media platforms".

What's next? The judge is expected to rule on Mr Forrest's motion in the coming weeks.
