Dexerto (@Dexerto) posted on Friday that Meta has been ordered to pay $25 billion after Facebook was found to have misled users about their personal data. The post drew about 1,800 likes.

The post does not say which court or regulator made the order, whether Meta will appeal or when payment is due.
