Today, the law firms of Carlson Lynch LLP, FeganScott LLC, and Bird, Marella, Boxer, Wolpert, Nessim, Drooks, Lincenberg & Rhow, P.C. moved for preliminary approval of a $92 million proposed class action settlement on behalf of users of the TikTok app.
The settlement, if approved by the court, would resolve claims that the social media company wrongfully collected its users’ biometric information and private data, and disclosed that information to third parties. In addition to creating a monetary fund for TikTok users, the settlement requires that TikTok initiate a new privacy compliance training program and take other steps to protect its users’ privacy going forward.

On Monday in the Seventh Circuit, Clearview AI filed a motion asking the court to stay a mandate set to go into effect on Tuesday pending the filing and resolution of a petition for a writ of certiorari. The defendant explained that the “petition for certiorari will present substantial questions worthy of a grant of certiorari, and the balance of equities favors a stay.”
Clearview AI contended that “staying the mandate will prevent potentially wasteful state court litigation should certiorari be granted.” According to the motion, the appeal considered if the plaintiff, who alleged that the defendant sold access to her biometric information in violation of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), “necessarily alleges an injury-in-fact for purposes of Article III standing.”
