"Time is running out to claim your share of $725M Facebook settlement"

Facebook users in the United States have one week left to file claims for payment in a $725 million data privacy settlement. The settlement resolves class action lawsuits alleging that Facebook allowed third parties to access users' private data without permission, including the data accessed by Cambridge Analytica. The amount each user will be paid depends on factors such as the number of valid claims and the length of time they were active Facebook users. The deadline to file a claim is August 25, and payments will be distributed after a final approval hearing, with the possibility of delays due to appeals. Users who join the settlement class and claim a payment will no longer be able to sue Facebook for covered matters.
