Seems like a bunch of free money if you're in the US. Sadly, Im not
It usually takes years to get paid anything for these class actions, and then you might get a check for $5

So far I've come across 2 comments by you in this thread and both are minimizing privacy concerns in an off-hand manner. - to give that 50 bucks to me you would require some information from me. Just post it here and we'll upvote you, 'k? (You are trivializing access to such personal info. Just post it all here to prove your point.) - blocking all those sites [your other comment] disables functionality.
You claim that posting personal information on a public site is the same as a bona fide class action settlement site? Please explain how it’s similar.
y: so what? here you can have everything you need from me [for e.g. identity theft] for 50 bucks!
me: that's the price of a cheap date! you don't appear to value it at all. so why don't you just post it here?
hope that clears it up.

The settlement has not yet been approved; this website is performing no small amount of data gathering which the class action lawyers will no doubt use as evidence that the settlement should be approved.

$35 / 187 months =18.7¢ / month
Seriously? That's all it costs to do this to people?
And it's only even as high as $35 because they're expecting the overwhelming majority of eligible members of the class won't file!
> IF I DO NOTHING > If you are a Settlement Class Member and you do nothing, you will give up the rights explained in Question 9, including your right to start a lawsuit, continue a lawsuit, or be part of any other lawsuit against the Defendant and the Released Parties about the legal issues or factual allegations resolved by this Settlement.

There’s no point in acting all surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years.
It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.

The time period covered is more than 15 years. 187 months. $35 / 187 months =18.7¢ / month Seriously? That's all it costs to do this to people? And it's only even as high as $35 because they're expecting the overwhelming majority of eligible members of the class won't file!
The market will not protect our privacy, nor will the law. The only thing that will protect our privacy is to stop giving the data away, and to aggressively combat attempts to harvest it without our consent at the infrastructural level, and probably to stop using the internet so much because the whole machine is one giant data collection, collation, and aggregation engine. It's what it's good at. Facebook can't take advantage of this data if their warehouses are choked with noise data or their data collection bugs are DDOS'd or nobody hires their former employees or the data just isn't there because people are living more local.
But the government? The government will not protect Americans. The theory of harm here is not demonstrated.

It's even worse when you look at their privacy policy. Who signed off on this? https://angeion-public.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/Privacy_Policy....
I never believe privacy policies anyway. I go on the assumption that anything I ever reveal on the internet will become public knowledge at some point.

>They are estimating the payment will be around $35 per claimant Is that based on the time spent using Facebook? ~5 years ago I deleted my account, would I only receive 2/3's of the amount?

Domains that you block, if you don't want to connect to them: facebookuserprivacysettlement.com www.facebookuserprivacysettlement.com adsrvr.org js.adsrvr.org digitaldisbursements.com content.digitaldisbursements.com fonts.googleapis.com google.com zdassets.com static.zdassets.com No, seriously, if you don't want to connect to these sites, block them.
Ill get the average facebook user (60+ y/o boomer) right on to identifying domain links and how to block them.
(My sample is not representative, but the bias is probably more towards tech and having a college degree than in the other directions.)
$725M is about two days of revenue. Ouch, that stings! I hope they're ok and can survive to improve. /s Seriously though, where's the punitive aspect of the system here? https://investor.fb.com/investor-news/press-release-details/...
It seems like a racket. Big corporation does what it wants, lawyers get their cut, regulators have boxes ticked, yay! system is working! But for whom?

I believe you deactivated your account like me.there is no option to delete last I checked. The data is intact if you reactivate.
