Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced he has won a $1.4 billion settlement from Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta over privacy-related concerns involving Facebook capturing Texan users’ facial and biometric data without their knowledge or consent.
In his post, the attorney general shared a press release further elaborating on the settlement and the case. For more than a decade, Meta had been collecting “capturing records of the facial geometry” of users via its new “Tag Suggestions’ feature, which the tech giant rolled out in 2011,” the press release stated.
“Meta did this despite knowing that CUBI forbids companies from capturing biometric identifiers of Texans, including records of face geometry, unless the business first informs the person and receives their consent to capture the biometric identifier,” Paxton said.
