Meta agrees to pay $1.4 billion to the state of Texas to settle claims that the company harvested millions of citizens’ biometric data without proper consent.
The settlement, to be paid over five years , is the largest ever obtained from an action brought by a single US state.
Facebook agreed to pay a $650 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit in Illinois over similar allegations related to its face-tagging system.
