Ask HN: How much money did you get from the Facebook privacy settlement?

About $38 myself. ChatGPT gives an estimate of about $250 made off tracking my browsing activity between 2007 and 2022, so pretty sweet margins in the "violating privacy rights" enterprise. /s

How can we expect companies to respect consumer rights when they only get a slap on the wrist for violating them?

    I didn’t find out about it until it was too late to throw my name in the hat.

    $38 is an insult.

    It's a privacy tax.

    Nothing. Filled out the form and heard nothing since.
