Washington Supreme Court Upholds $25 Million Fine Against Meta for Campaign Finance Disclosure Violations

Summary

The Washington State Supreme Court has upheld a record-setting $25 million fine against Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook's parent company) for violating the state's campaign finance disclosure law. The law requires digital platforms to maintain records of political advertising, including information about who is paying to target specific audiences with political messaging. The ruling comes after over three years of litigation, with Campaign Legal Center (CLC) and partners advocating for the disclosure requirements that provide Washington voters with critical information about political ad spending.
