Meta to Pay Historic $25 Billion in New Mexico Deception Case
Takeaways by Bloomberg AI
Meta Platforms Inc. was ordered to pay the state of New Mexico a $25 billion civil penalty Wednesday, one of the largest verdicts in US legal history in a case spurred by the decade-old Cambridge Analytica scandal.
A jury in Santa Fe determined that Meta had violated the state’s consumer protection laws over 43 million times. The verdict was based on dozens of widely viewed statements made by the company and its top executives about how it handled hate speech and user data, including data given to Cambridge Analytica that was used to target voters for Donald Trump ahead of the 2016 election.
