New Mexico Jury Finds Meta Liable for Misleading Facebook Users on Data PrivacyPreviousNext

A New Mexico jury found Meta liable for misleading users about Facebook's data privacy practices, particularly regarding the Cambridge Analytica scandal involving data from 87 million profiles. The verdict followed a two-week trial over allegations that Facebook failed to protect user data and misrepresented its handling of hate speech and misinformation. Meta disputes the verdict and plans to continue its defense. The case highlights concerns over data sharing and content moderation on the platform.
