#72One thing I don't like about these class action settlements is there's no way to easily know if the site you're putting all your information on is legit or not. An attacker could easily make a fake site which could serve as a possible vector for future attacks. This is really the kind of thing that should be behind a .gov TLD or something of that nature.
It's even worse when you look at their privacy policy. Who signed off on this?

#74It won't allow you to enter a date earlier than mid 2007 for the question that asked approximately "when did you create your account".
At the bottom it says its perjury if you put any wrong info in. Facebook was around for years by then and was already successful by the earliest date they allow

Yes, It’s only concerned about the period starting May 2007.

Court should make it mandatory that the website (e.g: facebook) displays the official link on his homepage + .gov tld indeed.

#79Is this real? Looks like the good old scam: Enter your payment method so that you can receive the money, we just have to charge you 20$ to verify your account.
Pretty confident you can request a paper cheque.
