Some Facebook users may soon receive a second payout from Meta’s $725 million privacy settlement. This follows lawsuits claiming Facebook improperly shared user data with third parties, sparked by the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal. Meta denies wrongdoing. Initial payments averaged $29.43, based on Facebook usage and claim filings. The second payout uses uncashed funds from the first round, redistributed to those who cashed their initial payment. Eligible users will be notified via email, with payments starting June 9 and continuing for four weeks. The amount is likely smaller than the first payment.
