Chorshanba kuni sudya Meta kompaniyasini Nyu-Meksikoga 25 milliard dollar to'lashga majbur qildi, chunki hakamlar hay'ati kompaniyani Facebook'dagi maxfiylik haqida foydalanuvchilarni aldashda aybdor deb topdi. Bu texnologik gigantga nisbatan eng katta jarima hisoblanadi.
Facebook'ning aldashi qasddan qilingan va rahbarlar foydalanuvchilarni platforma qanday ishlashi haqida doimiy ravishda chalg'itgan, deb yozdi shtat okrug sudiya Frensis J. Metyu o'z qarorida.
"Facebook foydalanuvchilarga ular (foydalanuvchilar) o'z ma'lumotlarini nazorat qilishlarini va'da qildi. Bu yolg'on edi", — dedi u.
Sentyabr oyida hakamlar Meta'ni Nyu-Meksiko iste'molchilarni himoya qilish qonunlarining 43 milliondan ortiq buzilishi uchun javobgar deb topdi, chunki kompaniya foydalanuvchilarning shaxsiy ma'lumotlarini qanday ishlatishi haqida chalg'ituvchi ommaviy bayonotlar bergan. Ish siyosiy konsalting firmasi Cambridge Analytica 2016-yilgi saylov mavsumida maqsadli siyosiy reklamalar yaratish uchun Facebook ma'lumotlarini yig'ib olganidan keyin ochilgan.
Bu mukofot texnologik kompaniyalarga Nyu-Meksiko ularni javobgarlikka tortishini ogohlantirish sifatida xizmat qiladi, dedi shtat Bosh prokurori Raul Torres matbuot anjumanida.
"Bu hukm Silikon vodiysiga aniq, shubhasiz xabar bo'lishi kerak", — dedi u. Reklama. O'qishni davom ettirish uchun pastga aylantiring.
Meta bu qaror va Torres idorasining ijro etish yondashuvi "shtatda biznes yuritishni deyarli imkonsiz qiladi" deb aytdi.
"Aslida, bu da'vo onlayn odamlar nima deyishi mumkinligi haqida yangi qoidalarni joriy etish uchun nutqni soliqqa tortishni maqsad qiladi. Biz apellyatsiyada g'alaba qozonishimizga ishonchimiz komil", — dedi kompaniyaning bosh huquqiy direktori S.J. Mahoni bayonotida.
Kaliforniyaning Menlo Park shahrida joylashgan kompaniyaning bozor qiymati 1,8 trillion dollar va o'tgan yili 200 milliard dollardan ortiq daromad keltirgan. Chorshanba kungi e'lon qilinganidan keyin kompaniya aksiyalari 2% yuqorilab savdo qilindi va o'sha kuni choraklik daromadlari haqida hisobot berishi rejalashtirilgan edi.
Nyu-Meksiko yolg'iz harakat qiladi
Avgust oyida Meta deyarli barcha shtatlar va hududlar bilan — Nyu-Meksiko va Floridadan tashqari — 18 milliard dollar to'lash va Facebook va Instagram platformalariga kuchliroq bolalar xavfsizligi choralarini qo'shish bo'yicha kelishuvga erishdi.
Bu kelishuv o'smirlar ijtimoiy tarmoq qaramligi bo'yicha sud jarayonini tugatdi va texnologik gigantni o'z platformalarining bolalarning ruhiy salomatligiga putur yetkazishdagi roli uchun javobgarlikka tortishni maqsad qilgan muhim ishni hal qildi. Bu harakat yosh odamlarning e'tiborini jalb qilish uchun mo'ljallangan xususiyatlarga qaratilgan edi.
Nyu-Meksiko ko'p shtatli kelishuvga qo'shilmadi va kompaniyaga o'z yo'li bilan hujum qilishni tanladi.
Korporatsiyalarga nisbatan kuchliroq siyosatni qo'llab-quvvatlovchi notijorat tashkilot direktori 25 milliard dollar "Meta uchun dengizdagi bir tomchi" ekanligini, lekin odamlar javobgarlikni xohlashini ko'rsatishini aytdi.
"Hozir ular Muse, odamlarni bank hisoblaridan tibbiy ma'lumotlarigacha hamma narsani ishonch bilan topshirishga undaydigan sun'iy intellekt yordamchisini joriy qilmoqdalar", — deb qo'shdi Amerika Iqtisodiy Erkinlik Loyihasi ijrochi direktori Nidhi Hegde. "Shuning uchun bizga ularni jilovlash uchun jasoratli ijrochilar va haqiqiy tishli qonunlar kerak."
Sud jarayonida shtat advokatlari Facebook bosh direktori Mark Sukerberg 2010-yilda Washington Post'da chop etilgan maqolasida kompaniya foydalanuvchi ma'lumotlarini sotmasligini yozganini keltirishdi.
"Siz ma'lumotlaringiz qanday ulashilishini nazorat qilasiz", — dedi Sukerberg. "Biz sizning ma'lumotlaringizni hech kimga sotmaymiz va hech qachon sotmaymiz."
Nyu-Meksiko rasmiylari 35 milliarddan 40 milliard dollargacha jarima talab qilishdi va kompaniya faqat aksiyalar narxiga ta'sir qilinsa o'zgarishini ta'kidladilar.
Meta advokatlari esa shtat chalg'ituvchi bayonotlar berilganini isbotlamaganini va kontent moderatsiyasi aslida Nyu-Meksikodagi odamlarga zarar yetkazganini ta'kidladilar. Ular kompaniya ko'pi bilan 3,4 milliard dollar to'lashi kerakligini va bundan ancha katta mukofot konstitutsiyaga zid bo'lishini aytishdi.
Apellyatsiya jarayonida jarimaga foizlar qo'shilsa-da, Meta javobgar deb topilgan buzilishlar sonini kamaytirishda muvaffaqiyat qozonishi mumkin.
25 milliard dollarlik mukofot 2019-yilda Federal Savdo Komissiyasi Facebook'ga qo'ygan 5 milliard dollarlik jarimadan ancha yuqori.
Villanova universiteti huquq fakulteti dotsenti Piter Ormerod Nyu-Meksiko hukmining hajmidan hayratda qoldi, chunki Cambridge Analytica bilan bog'liq avvalgi huquqiy kelishuvlar ancha pastroq edi.
"Bu Nyu-Meksikodagi har bir kishi uchun taxminan 12 000 dollarni tashkil etadi", — dedi u. "Bu biz ko'rgan boshqa hech narsaga o'xshamaydi."
Nyu-Meksiko Konstitutsiyasiga ko'ra, iste'molchilarni himoya qilish qonunlarini buzganlik uchun jarimalar ta'lim xarajatlariga yo'naltiriladi. Kompaniya apellyatsiya qilayotganda shtat pulni olish uchun yillar kutishi mumkin.
Kompaniya shtat zararni isbotlamaganini ta'kidlaydi
Sud jarayoni Facebook foydalanuvchilarni taxminan 87 million profil ma'lumotlarini yig'ib olgan va Cambridge Analytica'ga sotgan uchinchi tomon shaxsiyat viktorinasidan kelib chiqqan buzilish haqida aldash ayblovlariga qaratildi. Hozir tugatilgan firmaning mijozlari orasida Donald Trampning 2016-yilgi prezidentlik kampaniyasi ham bor edi.
Nyu-Meksiko advokatlari shtatning butun aholisi aldanganini va Facebook noto'g'ri ma'lumot yoki zo'ravonlik mazmunining tarqalishiga yo'l qo'yganini ta'kidladilar.
Meta advokatlari shtat odamlar chalg'ituvchi bayonotlardan zarar ko'rganini isbotlamaganini aytishdi. Sukerberg video depozitsiyasida Facebook zararli kontentdan foyda ko'rganini rad etdi va kompaniya so'z erkinligi bilan kontent moderatsiyasi o'rtasida muvozanatni saqlashi kerakligini aytdi.
Kompaniya uchun qisman g'alaba sifatida, hakamlar Facebook zararli kontentni, jumladan COVID-19 pandemiyasi haqidagi noto'g'ri ma'lumotni olib tashlash haqida yolg'on da'volar qilganligi haqidagi da'volarni rad etdi.
Meta advokatlari 2021-yilda da'vo ochilganidan beri siyosatni o'zgartirganini va hozirda o'z standartlarini buzadigan kontentning taxminan 99% ini aniqlab, olib tashlashini aytishdi.

A judge on Wednesday ordered Meta to pay New Mexico $25 billion after a jury found the company liable for deceiving users about privacy on Facebook, marking the biggest fine ever against the tech giant.
Facebook’s deception was intentional and executives consistently misled users about how the platform worked, state District Court Judge Francis J. Mathew wrote in his ruling.
“Facebook promised users that they (the users) controlled their data. This was false,” he said.
Jurors in September found Meta liable for over 43 million violations of New Mexico consumer protection laws for making misleading public statements about how it handled users’ personal data. The case was brought after political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica harvested Facebook data to generate targeted political ads during the 2016 election season.
The award will serve as a warning to tech companies that New Mexico will hold them accountable, state Attorney General Raúl Torrez said at a news conference.
“This judgment should be a signal, an unambiguous message, to Silicon Valley,” he said.Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.
Meta said the ruling and Torrez’s office’s approach to enforcement “makes it all but impossible to do business in the state of New Mexico.”
“At its core, this lawsuit seeks to impose a tax on speech to enforce new rules for what people can say online. We are confident we will prevail on appeal,” C.J. Mahoney, the company’s chief legal officer, said in a statement.
The Menlo Park, California, company has a market value of $1.8 trillion and brought in more than $200 billion in revenue last year. Company shares traded 2% higher after Wednesday’s announcement, and it was scheduled to report its quarterly earnings later in the day.
New Mexico goes it alone
In August, Meta reached a settlement with nearly all states and territories — except New Mexico and Florida — to pay $18 billion and add stronger child-safety measures to its Facebook and Instagram platforms.
The settlement ended a trial over teen social media addiction and resolved a pivotal case years in the making that sought to hold the tech giant accountable for the role its platforms played in undermining children’s mental health. The effort targeted features designed to grab young people’s attention.
New Mexico didn’t join the multistate settlement, choosing to go after the company on its own.
The director of a nonprofit that supports stronger policies toward corporations said $25 billion is “a drop in the bucket for Meta,” but demonstrates people want accountability.
“Right now, they are rolling out Muse, an AI assistant encouraging people to trust it with everything from their bank accounts to their medical information,” added Nidhi Hegde, executive director of the American Economic Liberties Project. “Which is why we need more enforcers with courage and laws with actual teeth to rein them in.”
At the trial, attorneys for the state cited a 2010 Washington Post op-ed in which Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote that the company didn’t sell user data.
“You have control over how your information is shared,” Zuckerberg said. “We do not and never will sell any of your information to anyone.”
New Mexico officials sought fines of $35 billion to $40 billion, arguing the company would only change if its stock price were impacted.
Meta’s lawyers, meanwhile, asserted that the state failed to prove the company made misleading statements and that content moderation actually harmed people in New Mexico. They wanted the company to pay $3.4 billion at most and said an award many times larger would be unconstitutional.
Although interest would accrue on the penalty during the appeal process, Meta could succeed in reducing the number of violations for which it is found liable.
The $25 billion award far exceeds a $5 billion fine the Federal Trade Commission levied against Facebook in 2019.
Peter Ormerod, an associate law professor at Villanova University, was surprised by the size of the New Mexico judgment because previous legal settlements over Cambridge Analytica were much lower.
“It comes out to about $12,000 per person in New Mexico,” he said. “It’s quite unlike anything else we’ve seen.”
Under the New Mexico Constitution, fines for violating consumer protection laws go toward education spending. It could take years for the state to get the money while the company appeals.
Company argues that the state failed to prove harm
The trial focused on accusations Facebook deceived users about a breach stemming from a third-party personality quiz that harvested data from roughly 87 million profiles and sold it to Cambridge Analytica. The now-defunct firm’s clients included Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Attorneys for New Mexico argued that the state’s entire population was deceived, and that Facebook allowed misinformation or violent content to proliferate.
Meta’s lawyers argued the state failed to prove people were harmed by deceptive statements. Zuckerberg in a video deposition denied that Facebook profited off harmful content and said the company had to balance free speech with content moderation.
In a partial win for the company, jurors rejected assertions that Facebook made false claims about removing harmful content, including misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meta lawyers said it has changed policies since the lawsuit was filed in 2021 and catches and removes an estimated 99% of content violating its standards.
