Facebook accused of deceiving users in New Mexico as trial over privacy scandal wraps up
Attorneys representing New Mexico accused Facebook of deceiving users about privacy protections on the social media platform and encouraged jurors during closing arguments Wednesday to find the company liable for thousands of violations of state law.
Jurors heard two weeks of evidence and must now decide whether Facebook violated the state’s Unfair Practices Act and if so, how many times. It would then be up to the judge to determine how much the company would pay per violation.
