DC's privacy lawsuit against Meta dismissed by judge.
A judge has dismissed the privacy lawsuit filed by the attorney general of Washington, DC against Meta, stating that the company "did not materially mislead consumers as to their response to Cambridge Analytica." The lawsuit alleged that Meta's "lax" privacy policies led to the scandal. The judge argued that Meta took "a number of enforcement actions" against the third-party app in question, ordered it to delete the data it had on users, and started an investigation.
