Meta Platforms (Facebook location data privacy)
Defendant: Meta Platforms
Meta Platforms, which owns Facebook, agreed to settle a lawsuit alleging that the company inferred the location of U.S. Facebook users through their IP addresses even after they had turned off location services for the Facebook app on their Android or iPhone. If you used Facebook in the U.S. between Jan. 30, 2015, and April 18, 2018, and had your location services setting for the Facebook app turned off, yet your location was inferred by your IP address, you may be eligible for payment from the $37.5 million fund.
