In this case, the defendant was Lee Enterprises (the owner of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper). Allegedly, they disclosed subscriber's personally identifiable information to Facebook without consent.
The records indicated I was a class member, and the postcard encouraged me to fill out a claim form with a provided login and password. This morning I went to the website, logged in, filled out the form, and chose my settlement delivery method. Before I signed off on the application I had to agree that:
"I am a person in the United States who, from December 1, 2020, until March 4, 2025, have or had a Facebook account, and was a subscriber of a Lee publication during that time."
A hearing on the proposed settlement is scheduled for early August. If the Court approves the settlement I will receive a payment 90 days later. The payment is anticipated to be approximately $41.01. Definitely not a huge amount, but enough to have made it worth my while.

ReplyDeleteIn a world with so much injustice, this sounds unique.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting
ReplyDelete41.04 is larger than some that I’ve received. I’d certainly sign up for that.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting. It's not a huge compensation, but better than nothing!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to tell if those things are for real or a scam. And there is so much information to read to find out! I completed one the other day and got a whopping $11!
