Facebook’s $90 Million Class Action Settlement Receives Preliminary Approval
More than a decade after Facebook was accused of tracking users even after they logged off the social media platform, a district court in California has given preliminary approval for a $90 million class-action settlement.
Facebook users in the United States who visited other sites that displayed the Facebook “Like” button between April 22, 2010, and Sept. 25, 2011, may be eligible for a portion of the settlement if it receives final approval.
The suit, initially filed by Perrin Aikens Davis of Illinois, is the seventh-largest data privacy class-action settlement ever to receive preliminary court approval, according to a release from law firm DiCello Levitt Gutzler.
