If so, listen up.
Meta, the parent company for the Facebook social media app, just settled with Americans for nearly $725 million dollars. What does this mean for you? If you live in Washington state, California, or Oregon, money could be coming your way. Before you start writing checks your buns can’t yet cash, find out how you can get some of that Facebook settlement cash.
HOW MUCH WILL EACH PERSON GET IN FACEBOOK SETTLEMENT MONEY?
Facebook (Meta) officially agreed to make their privacy violations federal court case go away with a cash settlement. That means if you are a Facebook user, your digital privacy may have been compromised and exposed to advertisers through its use of Cambridge Analytica data scrapers.
There’s only $725 million dollars to be split up amongst all of us who file a claim, so who knows?
We won’t likely get a huge payday from this settlement, that’s all I’m saying.
