About this settlement

Concerns about the distribution of funds from Meta's $18 billion settlement, with a focus on potential lawyer fees and limited victim compensation.

This opinion piece discusses Meta's $18 billion settlement, raising concerns that the bulk of the funds may go to lawyers and politicians rather than the victims the lawsuit was intended to help. It draws parallels to past settlements, such as the opioid settlement and a Google class action, where significant portions of the funds were allocated to legal fees, administrative costs, or allied charities, with individual plaintiffs receiving minimal compensation. The article suggests that without transparency, the Meta settlement may not provide meaningful redress to those harmed.

Who qualifies

  • Individuals harmed by Meta's actions, as defined by the lawsuit.
