New Mexico wins $25B judgment against Meta in Cambridge Analytica suit

A New Mexico court ordered Meta to pay $25 billion for its role in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the largest state judgment against a company in U.S. history. The ruling follows a $459 million settlement by other states in August, and Meta has not yet responded despite earlier hints of an appeal. The outcome is uncertain pending appeal, but the scale signals heightened state-level regulatory risk for big tech.
