Settlement was $725 million.

If you were a Facebook user in the United States between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, inclusive, you may be eligible for a cash payment from a Class Action Settlement.

A Settlement has been reached between Defendant Facebook, Inc., now known as Meta Platforms, Inc., ("Meta" or "Defendant") and Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

You are included in this Settlement as a Settlement Class Member if you were a Facebook user in the United States between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, inclusive.

The lawsuit is known as In re: Facebook, Inc. Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation, Case No. 3:18-md-02843-VC (N.D. Cal.).

Like all class actions, you can bet you will get enough to get a McChicken or two while the lawyers get to play Scrooge McDuck swimming in his money pit.

FYI

It seems there was a similar settlement for Illinois where some reportedly got close to $400.

Facebook was sued and you are entitled to some money. Anyone in the U.S. who used Facebook in the last 16 years can now collect a piece of a $725 million settlement by parent company Meta tied to privacy violations.

U.S. residents who used Facebook between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, can file a monetary claim as long as they do so before August 25, 2023.

Step 1
Go to the class action page
https://www.facebookuserprivacyse...bmit-claim

Step 2
Fill out the following

Your name
Your address
Your email
Your phone
If you resided in the U.S. between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022
If you were a Facebook user between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022
If you deleted your account in that period, the date range when you were a Facebook user
Your Facebook user name
The payment service you prefer, such as PayPal, Venmo or a prepaid Mastercard


Step 3
Forget about it and money will come around the time you forget about i

I opted out. Only the lawyers will get rich. Hundreds of millions of people are in the class. This is simply a huge scam.

Not a deal, but more like a PSA as I just found out recently. Doesn't seem to be a scam, it's legit. Facebook's parent company Meta recently settled a lawsuit and agreed to payout a total of $725 million to all users who may be eligible.

"If you were a Facebook user in the United States between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, inclusive, you may be eligible for a cash payment," the settlement details state.

From what I can tell, even if you de-activated FB, you may still be eligible. You can file a claim using this link: https://www.facebookuserprivacyse...bmit-claim
