- Facebook Inc raised its settlement offer by $100 million to $650 million related to a lawsuit that claimed it illegally collected and stored biometric data for millions of users without their consent, the company said on Friday. The social media giant reached a $550 million settlement in January regarding the same lawsuit, which started in 2015, when Illinois users accused the company of violating the state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act in collecting biometric data.

Zuck must be devastated

So about 1 hr of ads.

But they want to ban TikTok? How many scandals has Facebook had now? Hundreds?

Who knows how many companies or governments they have already sold copies to.

Facebook is a criminal cartel. Break it down and not 10 fragments by law. Force them to pay tax in the counties where they operate, force them to pay to local media for contents they show. Facebook is a corporate thug that must be controlled for the benefit of social justice.

that's me i get the whole $650 mil
