A New Mexico court ordered Meta Platforms to pay $25 billion in civil penalties for misleading users about data privacy and content moderation on Facebook. The October 21, 2026 judgment reduced a potential $219.49 billion award after a jury found 43,899,720 willful violations. Interest accrues at 15% annually until full payment, while Meta plans to appeal the ruling.
