New Mexico Jury Finds Meta Misled Users in Cambridge Analytica Data Case
A New Mexico jury found Meta Platforms liable for misleading users about privacy protections related to the Cambridge Analytica data breach involving 87 million Facebook profiles. The trial focused on claims that Meta misrepresented how it shared user data, handled hate speech, and enforced misinformation policies.
