Facebook users have less than one month left to apply for their share of a $725 million settlement over the social network's privacy violations, part of the lengthy fallout from the Cambridge Analytica scandal that rocked the U.S. electoral process and Silicon Valley. In all, the Cambridge Analytica scandal cost Meta, Facebook's parent company, nearly $5.9 billion. Beyond the $725 million settlement, the company paid a record $5 billion settlement to the Federal Trade Commission, alongside a further $100 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In some ways, it's a much different company than it was during the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The $725 million settlement was not an admission of wrongdoing.

If you used Facebook in the United States between May 2007 and December 2022, you can apply to claim your share of a $725 million settlement that Facebook’s parent company agreed to pay to settle a class-action lawsuit, according to a claims website set up by a settlement administrator. Users can enter their information on facebookuserprivacysettlement.com to get their payment through their bank account, Venmo or other methods. The payout will be divided among claimants, with more given to those who have used the site longer. Facebook’s parent company, Meta, agreed last year to settle a class-action lawsuit that accused the company of sharing user data or making it accessible to third parties, including the data and political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica, without users’ permission. The long-running lawsuit was filed after revelations in 2018 that Cambridge Analytica used private information from the Facebook profiles of millions of users without their permission in one of the largest data leaks in Facebook’s history.
Facebook users complained of an issue that saw random comments made to celebrity Pages appear in their own Feed. Facebook users have until August to claim their share of a $725 million class-action settlement of a lawsuit alleging privacy violations by the social media company, a new website reveals. The lawsuit was prompted in 2018 after Facebook disclosed information of 87 million users was improperly shared with Cambridge Analytica. "We pursued a settlement as it's in the best interest of our community and shareholders," a company spokesperson said at the time. 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.
