Facebook Users Can Submit Claims On Meta’s $725M Settlement

Some money may be coming your way if you used Facebook sometime between May 2007 and December 2022.

A California federal judge last month gave preliminary approval to a $725 million deal between Facebook parent company Meta and users claiming the social media platform allowed their data to be accessible to third-parties without their consent.

Meta in December agreed to settle the class action lawsuit brought in the aftermath of the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal, but denies any liability or wrongdoing.

Final approval of the settlement won’t happen for several months, but you don’t have to wait to submit a claim. Here’s what you need to know about the settlement and how to get cash from the deal.
