Facebook has recently agreed to pay millions of dollars in damages in a class action suit related to user privacy. As a result, many people may have questions about what happened and what they should do next.
In March 2022, a California court approved a $650 million settlement filed against Facebook. The case was filed by Facebook users who felt that the company had violated their privacy by using facial recognition technology without permission. Although Facebook denied these allegations, they decided to pay damages to settle the case.
If you are one of the 1.6 million Facebook users affected by this privacy breach, you may be entitled to a portion of the money paid by Facebook. However, there are several steps you need to take to ensure that you qualify and receive the appropriate payout.
First, make sure that you have registered as a member of the class action suit. If you have not yet registered, you should do so immediately. Once you have registered, you will receive further information about what you need to do next.
Second, make sure that you have evidence that you were a Facebook user at the time the facial recognition technology was used. This evidence can be in the form of a screenshot, email or text message, or other evidence that shows you were using Facebook when the facial recognition technology was implemented.
Finally, make sure that you follow the instructions provided by the lawyers in the class action suit. They will provide information about what you need to do next to receive the appropriate payout.
In conclusion, the class action suit offers an opportunity for Facebook users affected by this privacy breach to receive a deserved payout. However, to ensure that you qualify and receive the appropriate payout, make sure to register as a member of the class action suit and follow the instructions provided by the lawyers.
