Yes, that is correct. Facebook has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit that alleges the company violated users' privacy rights by using their personal information without their consent. If you were a Facebook user in the United States between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, inclusive, you may be eligible to receive a cash payment from the settlement.
The settlement has been preliminarily approved by the court and a final approval hearing is scheduled for December 22, 2022. If the settlement is approved, eligible Facebook users will receive a cash payment automatically, without needing to take any further action.
However, it is important to note that the amount of the cash payment will depend on the number of eligible users who file a claim. The settlement provides for a total of $650 million to be distributed among eligible Facebook users, but if the number of eligible users exceeds the settlement fund, the amount of the cash payment may be reduced on a pro-rata basis.
