Where’s Your $345 Payout From Facebook? It’s Been Delayed In the interests of full disclosure, I'll happily confess to not being a Facebook user. Sure, we use it at the radio station to share things like this with you, but as far as personal use goes, I'm really just not interested. However, my kids are active on Facebook, so when the news broke last year about a class-action lawsuit against Facebook by Illinois users, I made sure to make them aware of a potential windfall that could be coming their way, assuming they qualified (they are). In case you've forgotten, Facebook users in Illinois sued Facebook claiming that its “Tag Suggestions” feature and other features involving facial recognition technology, violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA"). That law says companies can't collect, store, or give out "biometric data," which includes things like face or fingerprint scans, without first giving notice and getting consent.
