Santa Fe, N.M. — New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez today announced a historic financial victory in the State’s landmark Cambridge Analytica case against Facebook, following a court order requiring the company to pay $25 billion in civil penalties for violations of New Mexico’s Unfair Practices Act.
New Mexico has secured one of the largest financial penalties against a corporation in U.S. history, and a landmark victory holding Facebook accountable under state consumer protection law. It follows a jury verdict finding that Facebook committed 43,899,725 violations of New Mexico law, a staggering number of violations that reflects the scope of the company’s unlawful conduct toward New Mexicans.
