People who used a Facebook account in the U.S. between 2007 and 2022 may be eligible to receive money after its parent company, Meta, agreed to settle a lawsuit alleging it shared users' data without their consent. That data was then used to target U.S. voters during the 2016 campaign that culminated in Trump’s election as the 45th president. Those who may now be able to get cash include all U.S. Facebook users on the site between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022. It is not known yet how much money individual users may get as part of the payout. That depends on how many people submit valid claims and how long a user was on Facebook during that period.
