Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has agreed to pay $725 million (£532 million) to settle a class action lawsuit in the United States over allegations it mishandled user data. The case, linked to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, covers Facebook users active between 24 May 2007 and 22 December 2022. Payments have started rolling out in September 2025, but the eligibility rules and deadlines mean not everyone qualifies.
