Meta agrees to settle Cambridge Analytica lawsuit, but its not over yet for Facebook
There were good reasons for Meta to settle a four-year lawsuit in a Californian federal court over the sharing of user data to third parties \u2014 including controversial political consultancy Cambridge Analytica. For a start, it would mean that Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg would avoid grueling questioning on the stand. But the settlement doesn\u2019t mean that the case is over, with the social-platform giant still facing discovery sanctions, amid claims that it \u201cstonewalled\u201d the plaintiffs\u2019 requests for documents.
