Attorney General Karl Racine on Monday announced he is suing Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook’s parent company Meta, for failing to protect Facebook users during the Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal., alleges that Zuckerberg oversaw discussions that allowed Trump-aligned consultancy firm Cambridge Analytica to improperly obtain the personal information of tens of millions of Facebook users.

The lawsuit is based on information that Racine collected during previously filed litigation against Facebook. In 2018, Racine. That lawsuit is ongoing. A judge earlier this year ruled against allowing Racine to add Zuckerberg as a defendant in the lawsuit, saying that adding Zuckerberg several years after it was filed would not help provide relief for consumers.

I hope Zuckerberg does pay for his badness,I’m so sick of being banned on Facebook ,just got 30day.for using the word mangle his algorithms don’t know what a mangle is.

He threatened to kill the over a contest I won and have never gotten the president is holding it and won’t give to me.

He ain't going to end up in jail so how do you punish him? All you can get is his corrupt money, and he ain't sweating cuz he made 10's of billions of dollars in profit from the staged pandemic. I think mr.&mrs. zuckerburg is making SATAN a very happy demon,huh?👿

Yay

Lol...all attorney generals in the great USA have politcal aspirations....its a currupt system with them being elected...they like to grandstand and not fight the real crime going on in violent american cities...

Having Peter Thiel involved in the flow of information is dangerous for democracy. Mark Zuckerberg preferred to listen to him anyway!

That's ridiculous. Campaigns mine data. How is that his fault? It was for political purposes which have much more liberal constitutional protections than commercial use. He is welcome to make that sort of thing more difficult in the future.

Penalties should be based on a percentage revenue to properly incentivize companies like Facebook to protect their users. I'd suggest 5 to 10 percent.

Good!!!
