A court in the US state of New Mexico has imposed a $25 billion fine on Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook. The ruling is related to the Cambridge Analytica scandal and allegations that the company misled users about the protection of their personal data. ihned.cz ↗
A jury previously found Meta liable for deceiving consumers. The case concerns Facebook user data that Cambridge Analytica allegedly used in connection with the 2016 US presidential campaign. According to the ruling, Meta did not provide the public with truthful information about how and by whom user data was being used. NOS ↗
The verdict also addresses allegations of deception regarding privacy protection and content moderation on Facebook. The sum of $25 billion is among the highest penalties ever imposed on a major company by a US state. According to media reports, the fine could have reached as much as $219 billion. El Mundo ↗
This is the second ruling against Meta in New Mexico within six months. The case follows the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal, which raised widespread questions about the use of personal data and the responsibility of social networks. Der Standard ↗
According to published information, part of the funds are to be allocated to financing schools in New Mexico. Meta will have to assess its next steps in the case after the ruling is announced. zive.sk ↗
