Connecticut's attorney general is laying the groundwork to potentially sue Meta Platforms over the Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal that unfolded seven years prior. The state has issued a request for proposals seeking a law firm to represent it, and possibly other states, in a potential lawsuit against the tech giant. This action could revive a significant legal challenge for the company concerning past data privacy practices. The move indicates a renewed legal threat stemming from the improper harvesting of personal online information. The state is preparing for a potentially long legal battle, seeking to hire a firm for up to six years of litigation work. At this time, there is no information available regarding the market's reaction to this developing legal situation.
