Getty Images A New Mexico state judge on Wednesday ordered Meta to pay $25 billion after a jury found the company liable last month for deceiving users about Facebook‘s data privacy and content moderation policies.
The judgment by state judge Francis Mathew capped a yearslong legal case waged by the state, which first sued the state in 2021 over alleged violations of its Unfair Practices Act following the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The jury last month found that Meta had violated the law nearly 44 million times, including through how it depicted its efforts in protecting users’ privacy and how it combated misinformation and hate speech across Facebook.
