Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Meta Horizon, has agreed to pay a massive settlement of 725,000,000 USD to settle the sandal lawsuit that accused Facebook of allowing Cambridge Analytica to access millions of users' personal information. The data was allegedly used to target U.S. voters during Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Although Meta denies these allegations, it has agreed to pay the massive settlement to avoid the costs and risks of a trial, according to the settlement website. The lawsuit was seeking to be certified as a class action representing Facebook users, and it argued that the privacy breach proved Facebook is a "data broker and surveillance firm," as well as a social network.
Eligible users with accounts from May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, are encouraged to submit a claim, with the deadline set for August 25, 2023. The payout for each user depends on the number of claims and account duration.
