More than 687,000 current and former Illinois residents who filed claims for a cut of Google’s $100 million biometric privacy class-action settlement can expect to see payouts of about $95 each.
But Facebook settled its privacy case, which centered around its facial tagging feature, for a total of $650 million, more than six times the amount of the Google settlement.
Two verification campaigns were carried out for claims deemed potentially fraudulent. The second verification campaign identified an additional 159,085 valid claims after concerns were raised in court about the effectiveness of the first verification campaign. Attorneys for the class pushed back against the motion in court filings, saying the settlement had been targeted by bots and that approving potentially fraudulent claims would “severely prejudice bona fide claimants by dramatically reducing their recoveries, while rewarding fraudsters with tens of millions of dollars.”In April, Loftus ordered a second set of verification emails sent out to people whose claims had not yet been approved or denied.
