Having a Facebook account is finally going to pay off as the social media site’s parent company, Meta, has agreed to a $725 million settlement in the Cambridge Analytica class-action lawsuit — and you could be owed a cut of the cash.
If you had a Facebook account between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, and lived in the U.S. during that time, you are eligible to claim a share of the settlement. Even if you deleted your account during that period you are still entitled to a small percentage of the eye-watering settlement.
