Deadline approaching for individuals to claim their share of $725 million Facebook settlement.
Get Your Share of the $725 Million Privacy Settlement from Facebook
Attention all Facebook users! If you’ve had a Facebook account in the last 16 years, you could be eligible to receive a portion of a massive $725 million privacy settlement. But hurry, you only have a few more hours to file your claim!
According to a report, any current or former Facebook user who had an account between May 24, 2007, and Dec. 22, 2022, is eligible to file a claim before 11:59 p.m. Friday.
In December 2022, Meta, Facebook’s parent company, settled a myriad of privacy-related class-action lawsuits for approximately 5 million following allegations of allowing third-party agencies to access the private data of users and their friends without consent.
The report also highlights that Cambridge Analytica, a political consulting firm, accessed the personal data of nearly 70 million domestic Facebook users. This included sensitive information such as birthdays, private messages, and area of residence.
So, how much can you expect to receive? It depends on three factors: the total number of claims filed, your activity level during the specified time period, and the overall settlement amount.
Once all the claims are filed, a final approval hearing is scheduled for Sept. 7. If the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved, “settlement payments will be distributed as soon as possible,” as stated in a FAQ sheet on the settlement website.
