US Jury Finds Meta Deceived New Mexico Consumers in Cambridge Analytica Case

A Santa Fe jury ruled Meta Platforms deceived New Mexico residents in a lawsuit tied to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where data of up to 87 million Facebook users was harvested without consent. The verdict follows a two-week trial in a case filed by the state AG in 2021. This marks a rare jury finding against Meta in a state-level privacy case, potentially emboldening other states and regulators.
