In reply to the discussion: Facebook users, be prepared. [View all]Jack Valentino
(5,109 posts)41. I recently received $30+ from Facebook as part of a class-action lawsuit settlement,
at a moment when I really needed it!
(Can't remember what the lawsuit was about exactly,
probably about some kind of 'privacy violation',
and I think I may have received more than many people because it was partly based
on the number of years you had been on Facebook,
which for me went back to around 2006 or so, I believe)
So when it comes to actions which will cause them to be sued
on issues which will make them pay me money,
"WELL DONE, FACEBOOK!"
However, while I still maintain memberships there,
I have scarcely participated or even READ it most of the time
since shortly after we elected President Biden...
After that election, I posted the political cartoon about
"Biden is boring". "Yeah, isn't it great?"

I would pay a subscription fee for it to go back to what it was several years ago.

It was just one example. Their responses were probably based on multiple choices in some beta format.

I don't believe it was an 'automatic' payment--- now I very vaguely recall filing a 'claim' for it
