‘Largest number of claims ever filed’: 17M people validated to receive Facebook settlement payment::The administrator in charge of vetting claims has received more than 28 million applications for a payment, said Lesley Weaver, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs in the case.
I really don’t like how class actions work. The payouts are almost always a pittance. If the judicial system really wanted to use them as a deterrent for shitty companies doing shitty things to large groups of people, class action damages should be structured such that every claimant gets $N… and the upper limit of valid claimants is not limited, though those claimants would still be subject to validation and verification. This would have the express intent of exposing a company to immediately catastrophic and unrecoverable financial damage.

Please hand over even more of your personal data so you can receive an ever decreasing amount of money.

Yeah, the money each claimaint will get is not worth the amount of personal information you have to give to yet another entity that will process it. I tried going through the claim but stopped halfway when the form stated asking a ton of info I wasn’t comfortable giving out to a 3rd party website.
