Meta fined $25 billion for lying about user data

Meta has been fined $25 billion for misleading users about data usage and access. The ruling stems from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where user data was exploited for targeted ads during the 2016 elections. Despite knowing about the misuse, Facebook took minimal action. New Mexico's lawsuit revealed over 43 million violations of consumer laws by Meta. The fine aims to support education in the state.
