Spain's AMI accuses Meta of breaching EU data-protection rules and creating unfair competition in digital advertising, seeking €551 million in compensation.
In the complaint, Twenty One Pilots accuse Temu of manufacturing and selling a "myriad of items that are counterfeit or blatant copies" of their merchandise and other intellectual property. The lawsuit alleges this creates an "implied relationship" between Twenty One Pilots and Temu, which constitutes "unfair competition" that devalues the band's brand. As evidence, the complaint includes dozens of pages of photos comparing official merch to the alleged counterfeit products sold on Temu. One example features an official $35 Twenty One Pilots t-shirt alongside a strikingly similar replica sold on Temu for $7.54.
Numan said he's pleased with the decision, noting that the noncompete provisions in this case are not fair to the loan officers, because at the end of the day, they're just trying to make a living for themselves and their families. They should be allowed to make a living and not be handcuffed just because Rocket doesn't want someone to be a broker, Numan said in an interview. There's no confidential information being used or taken, nor any past client information, in this case.
