@carrotsauceclothing: A New Mexico judge has ordered Meta to pay $25 billion in civil penalties after a jury found the company misled consumers about data privacy, misinformation and hate speech. The case stems partly from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which personal data from millions of Facebook users was improperly obtained and used for political targeting. In a separate development, Meta raised $25 billion through bond sales in April 2026 to help fund its massive Al infrastructure investments. Meta plans to appeal the court ruling. #meta
