By Washington, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine on Monday filed a lawsuit against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly failing to secure millions of users’ data during the Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal.
The 37-page filing (see pdf below) accuses Facebook, now known as Meta Platforms, of violating the district’s Consumer Protection Procedures Act by misleading users about how their data will be used and inappropriately sharing information with Cambridge Analytica, a now-defunct British political consulting firm once hired by former President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign team.
