GoKawiilNew Mexico seeks $35B-$40B penalty against Meta over Cambridge Analytica ruling
After a jury found Meta misled Facebook users about data privacy in connection with the Cambridge Analytica scandal, New Mexico's attorneys asked Judge Francis Mathew to impose penalties of $35 billion to $40 billion. The request follows a September 25 verdict in Santa Fe; Meta's lawyers argued the state's proposed sum is unconstitutional and urged a cap of $3.45 billion instead.
