U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California Judge Vince Chhabria ordered Meta Platforms and its law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher to pay $925,000 over their "delay, misdirection and frivolous arguments" in a data privacy lawsuit, Reuters reports. Chhabria said Meta and the firm mounted a "sustained, concerted, bad-faith effort to throw obstacle after obstacle in front of the plaintiffs" in the case over the company's sharing of user data with third parties.
