Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has won a $1.4 billion settlement from Facebook-parent Meta over charges it captured users facial and biometric data without properly informing them it was doing so. In a statement, Paxton said that starting in 2011, Meta, then still known as Facebook, rolled out its “tag” feature that involved software that learned how to recognize and sort faces in photos.
The settlement amount, which Paxton said is the largest ever obtained by a single state against a business, will be paid out over five years. “This historic settlement demonstrates our commitment to standing up to the world’s biggest technology companies and holding them accountable for breaking the law and violating Texans’ privacy rights,' Paxton said. 'Any abuse of Texans’ sensitive data will be met with the full force of the law.
