The data was collected through photos and videos that users uploaded to Facebook.

According to the deal, Meta will pay the state $1.4 billion.

It's worth noting that this is not the first such lawsuit Meta has faced. In 2020, for example, the company agreed to pay $650 million to settle a class action lawsuit in which Illinois users accused it of violating the privacy of biometric data.

In both cases, Meta denied wrongdoing.
