Checks for a $725 million Facebook settlement will begin distribution this month and last for 10 weeks. The settlement addresses allegations that Facebook made user data accessible to third parties without consent. Originally expected to pay out soon after approval in October 2023, two appeals delayed the payment until May 2025. Eligibility for claims includes any U.S. Facebook user between May 2007 and December 2022, regardless of whether accounts are still active. This settlement follows a different $90 million case related to user tracking without consent.
Checks for Facebook settlement payouts of $725 million will be distributed starting this month and continuing for 10 weeks. Two appeals delayed payments, finalizing on May 22, 2025.
The settlement with Meta Platforms Inc. was based on allegations of unauthorized data sharing with third parties, including practices by Cambridge Analytica.
The eligibility for filing a claim was expanded to include any U.S. Facebook user from May 24, 2007 to Dec. 22, 2022, including deleted accounts.
This payment differs from a previous $90 million settlement regarding Facebook's tracking of users on non-Facebook websites without consent between April 2010 and September 2011.
