A judge in the British Columbia Supreme Court approved a$ 51 million class-action arrangement between 4.3 million people in four counties and Facebook’s parent company Meta.
The lawsuit number was officially approved earlier this month by Justice Nitya Iyer. As a result, Meta is offering payment to qualified residents of British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Newfoundland and Labrador for using their images without authorization to market products in Facebook’s presently- former sponsored stories feature.
According to the arrangement, any inhabitants of the four counties who were registered with Facebook or had profiles posted between January 1, 2011, and May 30, 2014, are affected by the colony.
Meta and the attorneys for class-action claimant Deborah Douez, a B.C. citizen, reached a settlement in November. According to school administrator MNP, the arrangement is a compromise that allows the company to resolve the claims without the defendant’s “admission of duty or wrongdoing or wrong.”
