Court orders Meta to pay $25B to New Mexico
A court in New Mexico has ordered Meta Platforms to pay $25 billion after it was found to have deceived consumers by sharing personal data of millions of Facebook users without their consent, through a political consulting firm involved in Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. The judge confirmed that the violations persisted for years and were systematic, leading to what is considered one of the largest rulings against the company in the state of the United States. Meta asserts that it is confident of winning the appeal and considers the ruling to threaten free expression and impose new internet regulations. Meanwhile, experts indicated that the law could allow a fine of up to $219 billion, but the court reduced the amount to $25 billion.
