(Santa Fe, NM) — A New Mexico jury has found Facebook liable for deceiving users about privacy protections on the social media platform. The judge is now working to determine how much the company will end up paying. The trial focused on accusations Facebook deceived users about a data breach stemming from a third-party personality quiz that harvested data from roughly 87-million profiles and sold it to a political consulting firm, Cambridge Analytica. Facebook lawyers claim the state’s evidence was outdated.
