Supreme Court Sidesteps Facebook Fraud

🏛️ The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed Facebook’s (META) appeal in a securities fraud lawsuit tied to the 2015 Cambridge Analytica data breach. This decision allows the 9th Circuit Court’s ruling, which revived the case, to stand.

📉 Shareholders allege Facebook misled investors by failing to disclose the breach in risk reports, leading to stock declines after the 2018 media exposé. The company argued it was not legally obligated to report past incidents as part of risk disclosures.

💸 Facebook has already faced significant penalties, including a $5 billion FTC fine and a $100 million SEC settlement, for privacy violations. The case underscores ongoing scrutiny of corporate transparency and regulatory accountability.
