Facebook starts $725 million privacy settlement payout: Check which US citizens qualify

If you filed in Facebook’s $275 million privacy settlement, you might get a payment within weeks, the settlement’s administrator said. The social media platform will soon begin issuing payments to millions of users as part of a $725 million settlement over claims that the social media platform misused user data.

The settlement stems from lawsuits that accused Facebook of improperly sharing users’ personal data with advertisers and third-party firms, with the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal remaining the most significant one.
