- Meta was ordered by a New Mexico judge on Wednesday to pay $25 billion in penalties, nearly a decade after the Cambridge Analytica scandal first broke.
- Meta was found by a jury in September to have misled users about their data privacy.
Why it matters: Meta bears the $25 billion cost, while Facebook users are the group a September jury found it had misled about data privacy. The New Mexico order’s timing—nearly a decade after Cambridge Analytica—places the company’s financial penalty within a long-running Big Tech privacy controversy.
