Facebook users have just days left to file a claim for share of $725 MILLION Cambridge Analytica settlement - are YOU entitled to a payout?

Facebook users in the US have just days to apply for their share of a $725 million data privacy settlement.
 

The payout is over a years-long lawsuit which alleges the social media platform allowed around 70 million users' data to be accessed without their permission by political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica.

In 2018, the British consultancy was found to have targeted US voters during the 2016 Trump presidential campaign - profiting from a feature which meant it could mine users' data as well as the data of their Facebook friends.

Meta, Facebook's parent company headed by billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, agreed to pay the settlement in December last year.
