🎉 “Facebook” Users, Opportunity to Score Some Cash! 💸🌟
All US residents who have had a Facebook account since May 24, 2007, now have a chance to apply for their share of a $725 million privacy settlement that Meta, the parent company, has agreed to pay. 💰😮
Meta is paying to settle a lawsuit claiming the world’s largest social media platform allowed millions of users’ personal information to be shared with Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. 🌐🗳️
It’s not clear yet how much money each person will receive. The more people that submit valid claims, the smaller each payment will be, as the money has to be divided among them. 🧮💵
To apply for the settlement, users can fill out a form and submit it online, or print it out and mail it. ✍️📬
This case began in 2018 when it was revealed that Cambridge Analytica, a firm with ties to Trump’s political strategist Steve Bannon, paid a Facebook app developer for access to the personal information of about 87 million users of the platform. That data was then used to target U.S. voters during the 2016 campaign, which resulted in Trump’s election as the 45th president. 🎯🇺🇸
The uproar over the revelations led to a contrite Zuckerberg being grilled by U.S. lawmakers and sparked calls for people to delete their Facebook accounts. 📉🗣️
Facebook’s growth has stalled as more people connect and entertain themselves on rival services such as TikTok, but the social network still boasts over 2 billion users worldwide, including an estimated 250 million in the U.S. 📱🌎
