LONDON—Facebook on Monday asked a London tribunal to block a collective lawsuit valued at up to 3 billion pounds ($3.7 billion) over allegations the social media giant abused its dominant position to monetize users’ personal data.

Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of the Facebook group, is facing a mass action brought on behalf of around 45 million Facebook users in Britain.
