Wow, $META really got hit hard. 25 billion.

The Cambridge scandal just won't go away. A New Mexico court has put its foot down: you lied about data protection—now pay up. And you know what? Their total fines this year have topped 43 billion. That's astronomical.

My decision

While they're bogged down in these court cases, I'm not even considering their stock. Regulators have absolutely crushed them. This is no longer about developing technology; it's about surviving legal battles. Stories like this always end badly for people who buy into the hype. I'm out.
