US Judge Orders Meta to Pay $25B in Cambridge Analytica Data Privacy Case

A US judge has ordered Meta to pay $25 billion in a data privacy case stemming from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, a significant reduction from the original $219.5 billion penalty. The ruling marks a major legal outcome for Meta, though the reduced amount suggests a partial victory for the company. The decision could set a precedent for data privacy enforcement and impact Meta's financials, though the exact implications for its operations remain uncertain.
