Facebook pays out $20 million in personal ads settlement; each user gets $15

A US District Judge, Richard Seeborg, ruled on Monday that Facebook must pay out a total of $20 million over its Sponsored Stories adverts. The settlement is the conclusion to a class action lawsuit brought over two years ago over the social networking giants use of members names and pictures without consent. The total settlement amount will be divided between some of the affected users as well as attorneys and non-profit groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Berkman Centre for Internet and Society.”]
