Brigham Young University (BYU) Broadcasting agreed to pay more than $1.5 million to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it violated the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) by sharing BYUtv subscriber data with Meta without consent.

The BYUtv settlement benefits individuals who had a Facebook account, a registered account with BYUtv and who viewed one or more videos on byutv.org between Nov. 12, 2022, and May 9, 2025.
