The Texas attorney general`s office sued Meta`s Facebook on Monday, alleging that the social media giant violated state privacy protections with facial-recognition technology that collected the biometric data of millions of Texans without their consent.

The lawsuit was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, which cited a person familiar with the matter as saying that the state was seeking hundreds of billions of dollars in civil penalties.

Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


The lawsuit was filed in a state court in Marshall, Texas.

"This is yet another example of Big Tech’s deceitful business practices and it must stop. I will continue to fight for Texans` privacy and security," Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement.
