Indian-American judge Vince Chhabria has slapped a fine of almost $1 million on Meta, Facebook's parent company, and its law firm for creating obstacles for court and users in a data breach trial.

According to a Bloomberg report, District Judge Chhabria wrote in an order that the fine is "loose change" for Facebook and Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP for deceitfully denying that it shared users' private information with third parties.
