Ask HN: How much money did you get from the Facebook privacy settlement?

9 pointsby underliptonvor 9 Monaten10 comments

About $38 myself. ChatGPT gives an estimate of about $250 made off tracking my browsing activity between 2007 and 2022, so pretty sweet margins in the "violating privacy rights" enterprise. /s

How can we expect companies to respect consumer rights when they only get a slap on the wrist for violating them?

$20

I was hoping it’d be an actually meaningful amount, especially since I’m on disability.

I didn’t find out about it until it was too late to throw my name in the hat.

$38 is an insult.

Nothing. Filled out the form and heard nothing since.
