Meta faced a significant privacy breach as the Texas attorney general accused it of capturing biometric data of millions of Texans without consent, utilising a facial recognition feature. Although no explicit data leakage was reported, the breach posed a reputational risk and raised concerns over personal data handling, resulting in a massive $1.4 billion settlement. This incident highlights the increasing scrutiny of tech giants regarding data privacy practices, and their potential financial and reputational impacts.
