Lawsuit alleges Meta violated state law that prohibits capturing or selling information like faces or fingerprints
Meta has agreed to a $1.4bn settlement with Texas in a privacy lawsuit over claims that the tech giant used biometric data of users without their permission, officials said Tuesday.
Texas attorney general Ken Paxton said the settlement is the largest secured by a single state. In 2021, a judge approved a $650m settlement with the company, formerly known as Facebook, over similar claims of users in Illinois.
