A Washington state judge on Wednesday fined Facebook parent company Meta nearly $25 million for repeatedly and intentionally violating campaign finance disclosure law, in what is believed to be the largest campaign finance penalty in U.S. history. FOX13

The penalty issued by King County Superior Court Judge Douglass North was the maximum allowed for more than 800

But Meta has repeatedly objected to the requirements, arguing unsuccessfully in court that the law is unconstitutional because it "unduly burdens political speech" and is "virtually impossible to fully comply with." While Facebook does keep an archive of political ads that run on the platform, the archive does not disclose all the information required under Washington’s law.
