New Mexico seeks $35-40 billion in penalties against Meta after a jury found the company misled consumers about Facebook data privacy in a case stemming from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where a political consulting firm harvested data from 87 million users without consent. The jury found 26 of 29 company statements misleading and identified over 43 million violations of New Mexico's consumer protection laws. Judge Francis Mathew will decide the final penalty amount, with Meta arguing for a $3.45 billion cap.
