New Mexico jury finds Facebook liable of deceiving users about privacy protections

A New Mexico jury has found Facebook liable for deceiving users regarding privacy protections on its social media platform. The legal proceedings focused on allegations that Facebook misled users about a significant data breach. This breach originated from a third-party personality quiz that harvested data from approximately 87 million profiles. This information was subsequently sold to the political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica to create targeted advertisements, leading to the jury's decision against the company.
