> After deduction of the costs of notice and settlement administration, any Court-approved award of attorneys’ fees (up to 30% of the Settlement Fund), litigation costs, and any service awards for the Class Representatives (up to $7,500 to each of the six individual Class Representatives), the Settlement Fund will be divided equally among eligible class members. > We will not know the final amount that each class member will receive until all claims are completed. Based on claims rates in similar cases, eligible class members may receive between $35 and $175 each. The actual amount that each class member receives will be determined once all claims are evaluated, and may be higher or lower than these estimates. I guess if there's a general trend of $35 per privacy violation companies might take a bit more serious.

> I guess if there's a general trend of $35 per privacy violation companies might take a bit more serious. The pricing of settlements is frequently tied to the size of insurance policies. So you’re right, but it may take a few hops for the trend to percolate.

You could always sue them yourself. no need to become part of the class action.

  You can but judges don't really like it when you use their time for something already decided. unless you have a new arguement or reason to object to the original for some reason just join it. Lawyers are the only ones who win in court anyway.

Not really. How much has Meta paid out so far on all the biometric settlements? Hundreds of millions? Everyone I know got a $900 from that. Then the Google one was another couple of hundred, right?
