Do you reside in the USA? Were you a Facebook user between 2007-22?

Then Meta owes you money!

That's right, because Facebook has accessed user data without permission, various class action lawsuits have resulted in them having to pay a total of $725 million to its users.

And who are they paying? Almost every American who's used Facebook!

Want that money? Here's where to file that claim:

In re: Facebook, Inc. Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation

If you were a Facebook user in the United States between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, inclusive, you may be eligible for a cash payment from a Class Action Settlement.

I said that Mastodon moderation wouldn't scale, it does. The cultural differences will likely continue to maintain a friendlier atmosphere regardless of size.
