The now-defunct firmâs clients included the 2016 campaign for Donald Trump.</p> 525<p>Jurors sided with prosecutors, finding Facebook made deceptive statements about protecting usersâ data that affected New Mexicoâs entire population of more than two million people. The jury also found Facebook misled the public about investigations into third-party app developers that harvest user data following the Cambridge Analytica scandal.</p> <div class="herald-ad herald-ad--leaderboard" aria-label="Advertisement" role="complementary"> 526 <div id="div-gpt-ad-art-body1" 527 data-gpt-slot="art-body1"> 528 </div> 529 </div> 530 531<div class="naviga-element naviga-subheadline1">Facebook claims stateâs evidence was âoutdatedâ</div> 532<p>âWe disagree with the verdict and will continue to defend ourselves against efforts to distort our record,â said Alex Burgos, a spokesperson for Meta in an email.</p> 533<p>During closing arguments, lawyers for Facebook claimed the stateâs evidence was outdated and that despite having five years to gather material, New Mexico found only one other instance of a data breach.</p> 534<p>The trial also addressed Facebookâs policies for removing harmful content. The state claimed the company favored certain accounts and allowed for violent, or inaccurate, content to proliferate. Facebook denied the claims, arguing the company has adapted its policies since the stateâs lawsuit was filed in 2021 and that it removes 99% of content that violates standards.</p> 535<p>The jury reviewed 34 statements made by the company about data protections and content policies, finding the company deceived users about its practices in almost every case.</p> 536<p>In one of the few wins for the defense, jurors found the state didnât prove that Facebook made false claims about remov
536ing harmful content, including misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.</p> 537<div class="naviga-element naviga-subheadline1">Expert says impact on the company remains unclear</div> 538<p>Despite jurors finding millions of violations, itâs unclear how much of an impact the case will have on the companyâs bottom line, given how profitable Meta is.</p> <div class="herald-ad herald-ad--leaderboard" aria-label="Advertisement" role="complementary"> 539 <div id="div-gpt-ad-art-body2" 540 data-gpt-slot="art-body2"> 541 </div> 542 </div> 543 544<p>âItâs unlikely that this is going to be the case that effectively penalizes the company in a meaningful way,â said Peter Ormerod, an associate professor of law at Villanova University.</p> 545<p>Ormerod said the social media company has very high margins and previously skirted regulatory actions on its platforms.</p> 546<p>If the state successfully persuaded the judge to award the maximum civil penalties for every violation, the company could owe over $200 billion, with interest accruing if it decides to appeal. The judge will have to weigh complex arguments from both
546sides about what penalties are fair. In a previous case, New Mexico secured $942 million over the platformâs policies to protect minors.</p> 547<p>Ormerod commended the stateâs âdogged prosecutionâ of the social media giant, but isnât sure the judgment will be significant enough to change Metaâs ways.</p> 548<p>âThereâs been a lot of criticism that none of these amounts of money are enough to discipline the company,â Ormerod said.</p> 549<div class="naviga-element naviga-subheadline1">Attorney for state said Facebook profited off harmful content</div> 550<p>In a deposition played for jurors, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company had robust systems to determine whether content should be taken down. During closing arguments, Randi McGinn, an attorney representing the state, argued that Facebook profited off harmful content, which lawyers for the company denied.</p> <div class="herald-ad herald-ad--leaderboard" aria-label="Advertisement" role="complementary"> 551 <div id="div-gpt-ad-art-body3" 552 data-gpt-slot="art-body3"> 553 </div> 554 </div> 555 556<p>âMetaâs platforms are forums for free expression. We have a First Amendment right to manage those platforms in a way we believe best serves the interests of our community. This means prioritizing free speech, protecting our usersâ information and giving them control over their data,â said Burgos.</p> 557<div class="naviga-element naviga-subheadline1">Judge will decide penalties at later date</div> 558<p>The judge will decide on penalties at a later date, but that hearing hasnât been set yet. Attorney General Raúl Torrez told reporters following the verdict that the judgment will be decided within weeks and that all money awarded will go into a fund for the stateâs education system. The state is also seeking an injunction to stop similar practices in the future.</p> 559<p>In August, Meta agreed to pay up to $18 billion to settle a multistate lawsuit involving child safety issues. Buried in the 130-page settlement was an agreement to release Meta from future liability related to the Cambridge Analytica privacy breach, making New Mexico the only state to decide to pursue a case on its own. Florida was the only other state that did not sign the settlement, saying it was not tough enough on Meta, leaving the door open for future litigation.</p> 560<p>Also this year, New Mexico won judgments totaling $942 million from Meta in a two-phase trial about the companyâs safety protections for minors. The court ordered Meta to implement new safeguards, including age-verification technology and time limits on its platforms.</p> 561 </div> 562 </div> 563 </div><!-- /.article-body-container --> 564 565 <!-- Copy article link --> 566 <div class="share-button-container mt-4"> 567 <button id="shareArticleButton" 568 class="share-button-link" 569 type="button" 570 onclick="ShareArticleLink();" 571 aria-label="Copy article link to clipboard"> 572 Copy article link 573 </button> 574 </div> 575 576 577 <div class="mt-4 mt-md-5 pt-4 pt-md-5 border-top"> 578 <h3 class="fw-bold mb-3">Related Tags</h3> 579 <div class="d-flex flex-wrap gap-2"> 580 <a href="https://www.tricityrecordnm.com/tag/facebook/" class="btn btn-sm btn-light text-dark rounded-pill">Facebook</a> 581 <a href="https://www.tricityrecordnm.com/tag/new-mexico/" class="btn btn-sm btn-light text-dark rounded-pill">New Mexico</a> 582 </div> 583 </div> 584 585 <div class="related-articles mt-5 pt-4 border-top"> 586 <h2 class="section-header red-rule mb-4"> 587 <a href="/section/ap-new-mexico/" 588 class="related-section-heading-link">More AP New Mexico</a> 589 </h2> 590 <div class="row g-3"> 591 <div class="col-12 col-md-4"> 592 <article class="bg-white shadow-sm overflow-hidden hover-scale h-100"> 593 <a href="https://www.tricityrecordnm.com/articles/news/facebook-accused-of-deceiving-users-in-new-mexico-as-trial-over-privacy-scandal-wraps-up-2/" class="text-decoration-none text-dark d-flex flex-column h-100"> 594 <img src="https://imengine.public.prod.dur.navigacloud.com/?uuid=57EF999C-F9F5-549E-AE62-41852EAFDA06&function=thumbnail&type=preview&source=false&width=600&height=400" alt="Facebook accused of deceiving users in New Mexico as trial over privacy scandal wraps up" class="card-img-fixed w-100" loading="lazy" onerror="this.onerror=null;this.src='https://www.tricityrecordnm.com/wp-content/themes/ballantine-news-theme/images/placeholder.jpg'"> 595 <div class="p-3 d-flex flex-column flex-grow-1"> 596 <sp
