US court fines Meta 25B for deception
An American court has imposed a fine of 25 billion dollars on Meta Platforms Inc. for deception, after the jury concluded that the company misled users by sharing the data of millions with political consultants involved in Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign without their consent. The judge confirmed that these violations had been ongoing for years and went to the core of Facebook’s business practices. Although the law allowed for a fine of up to 219 billion dollars, it was reduced to 25 billion. Meta intends to appeal the ruling, considering that this decision threatens freedom of expression and complicates business operations in New Mexico.
