Meta ordered to pay US$25 billion for misleading Facebook users about privacy and data use
A New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay US$25 billion for misleading consumers about its privacy, data protection and content moderation practices. The ruling follows a jury's September finding that Facebook made false or misleading statements about how it collected, shared and protected user information. The lawsuit was filed in 2021 by the state's Attorney General and traces back to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which involved data from up to 87 million users.
