Racine Sues Zuckerberg Over Direct Data Breach Participation

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg directly participated in decisions and “lax oversight” of user data that led to Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica privacy breach, Washington, D.C., Attorney General Karl Racine (D) alleged in a lawsuit Monday. This is a follow-up to a lawsuit Racine filed in 2018 against Facebook. Racine’s office reviewed documents produced during litigation of the ongoing suit. “The evidence shows Mr. Zuckerberg was personally involved in Facebook’s failure to protect the privacy and data of its users leading directly to the Cambridge Analytica incident,” he said.
