"Maximizing Your Facebook Settlement Claim: A Step-by-Step Guide"

Facebook users in the United States have until Friday to apply for their share of a $725 million privacy settlement that Meta, Facebook's parent company, agreed to pay. The settlement is related to a scandal involving Cambridge Analytica, which gained access to the personal data of millions of Facebook users. Users who had a Facebook account between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, are eligible to claim money from the settlement, even if they have since deleted their account. Claims can be submitted online or by mail, and the distribution of payments will begin after the final hearing for approval on September 7.
