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 — as long as they fill out a claim on a website set up to pay out money to the social network's users.

The settlement stems from multiple lawsuits that were brought against Facebook by users who claimed that the company improperly shared their data with third-party sources such as advertisers and data brokers. The litigation began after Facebook was embroiled in a privacy scandal in 2018 with Cambridge Analytica, which scraped user data from the site as part of an effort to profile voters.

Meta denied any liability or wrongdoing under the settlement, according to the recently created class-action website. However, the agreement means that 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.

How do I claim money under the Facebook settlement?

Go to the claim website to fill out your claim, or else print out the claim and mail it to this address: Facebook Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation, c/o Settlement Administrator, 1650 Arch Street, Suite 2210, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

Just saw this.. Thank you

Now I wondering if Facebook is going to take that info and sell it... Lol
 
I hate these class action lawsuits, they're such a waste of time. You usually got to fill out a couple forms online and then a year or two later you get a check for like $2.37. fuck that shit
I think the same, but took a couple of minutes to join when someone else, maybe me posted a thread about this.... if I get a couple of bucks gas money I'm cool :dunno:

Not at all. It was very straightforward. Like a few steps. And that was it.

Randomly, got a letter in the mail asking to fill out an I-9, then got a check yesterday. I didn’t have to do hardly anything but provide my info and verify my identify.
What's the I-9 about?
