New Mexico Jury Rules Meta Misled Consumers on Privacy
A New Mexico jury has ruled that Meta misled consumers regarding its privacy practices, specifically in connection to claims made during the Cambridge Analytica data scandal. The case originated from a lawsuit filed by the state’s attorney general in 2021 over alleged deceptive conduct related to user data handling and misinformation policies. The verdict adds pressure on Meta as it faces ongoing legal challenges concerning its privacy practices and transparency with users. While the jury found that consumers were misled, the final penalties will be determined by a judge at a later stage of proceedings.
