U.S. Facebook users have one more month to apply for their share of a
$725 million privacy settlement that parent company
Meta agreed to pay late last year.
Meta is paying to settle a lawsuit alleging the world’s largest social media platform
allowed millions of its users’ personal information to be fed to Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Anyone in the U.S. who has had a Facebook account at any time between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, is eligible to receive a payment. To apply for the settlement, users can
fill out a form and submit it online, or print it out and mail it. The deadline is August 25.
