The latest post on ‘Mashable’ is titled “Facebook Proposes Fresh $20 Million Privacy Settlement”.
Alex Fitzpatrick says, “Facebook is offering a new $20 million settlement in a class action privacy lawsuit relating to “Sponsored Stories” advertisements, according to a report.
The fresh settlement, filed Saturday, is offering up to $10 each to nearly 125 million affected users, reportsReuters.
Sponsored Stories, a Facebook advertising feature introduced in early 2011, caused users’ names and profile pictures to be shown as endorsements in a brand’s advertisements those users have “liked.” Users cannot opt-out of the feature, a situation some users and watchdog groups considered to be a violation of privacy”.
