Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) suffered a major legal setback this week when a New Mexico judge ordered the company to pay $25 billion in penalties over the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Meta Platforms（納斯達克股票代碼：META）本周遭遇重大法律挫折，新墨西哥州一名法官下令該公司因劍橋分析公司醜聞支付250億美元的罰款。
The ruling followed a September jury verdict finding that Facebook misled users about their data privacy. While the headline figure drew most of the attention, a single sentence in the order added another cost: interest of 15% a year until the penalty is paid, which works out to about $3.75 billion annually.
該裁決是在9月陪審團裁定Facebook就用戶數據隱私問題誤導用戶之後作出的。儘管這一巨額罰金數額吸引了大部分關注，但判決書中的一句話又額外增加了另一項成本：在罰款付清之前，按年利率15%計息，折算下來每年約為37.5億美元。
