Sorry that is not what I asked.
Will this process formally disclose my address to FB? Or the lawyers keep it to themselves?

I asked - this is the reply - now what is the answer to the original question of "Will this process formally disclose my address to FB? "?

So I guess in other words, no guarantees about anything.... so always assume the worst could happen.

And of course they never directly tried to answer your question with a simple yes or no, but probably the best answer you're going to get unless you spend hours looking at all the legal documents while understanding what they all actually mean..

The $725 million settlement was not an admission of wrongdoing.

Facebook users can make a claim by visiting Facebookuserprivacysettlement.com and entering their name, address, email address, and confirming they lived in the U.S. and were active on Facebook between the aforementioned dates.

People who had an active U.S. Facebook account between May 2007 and December 2022 have until Aug. 25 to enter a claim. Individual settlement payments haven't yet been established because payouts depend on how many users submit claims and how long each user maintained a Facebook account.

I think that's a different settlement for Illinois FB users. Looks like you received an additional payments: The Settlement Administrator began sending supplemental settlement payments to class members who cashed their second settlement payment on October 17, 2023.

For the lawsuit in this thread, the settlement was approved on October 10, 2023, but distribution has not started.
