A judge ordered Meta to pay $25 billion to the state of New Mexico after a jury found the company misled users about privacy and content moderation policies on Facebook. The case is tied to Cambridge Analytica, the British consultancy that worked for Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and obtained user data without consent. Judge Francis Mathew set the amount; Attorney General Raúl Torrez called it one of the largest state verdicts against a company in US history.
