Okay guys at this point I am *actively* rolling my eyes every time I see someone tag this post as "dubious" or "suspicious" or anything else along those lines, thinking this is somehow fake.
If you think it is fake -- why on earth are you reblogging it?
If you think it is fake --
Take five seconds to Google it!
and you will see this is a very real, legal thing.
Facebook sold user data to show people targeted, misleading ads about the election. Now, they have to pay out millions of dollars to the users they harmed.
Are you going to get millions of dollars? No. Are you going to get something? Yes.
It's free money that you are owed by an evil corporation that gambled and lost.
Literally all you have to do is confirm your name and that yes, you have had a Facebook account at some point in the last 16 years and swear you're not lying to get a bigger payout by pretending you're a bunch of different people making claims. Pick how you want the playment to go through and you're done.
Less than 5 minutes to fill out, and less than 5 seconds to confirm beforehand this is a very real thing.
Heck, you can literally check your Facebook notifications from when I made the original post to see that you got an official notification about the settlement.

Time Sensitive- Apply before August 25th, 2023 (8/25/23)!
Filing a claim takes less than ten minutes, and can be done HERE
Excerpt from article:
Anyone in the U.S. who used Facebook in the last 16 years can now collect a piece of a $725 million settlement by parent company Meta tied to privacy violations — as long as they fill out a claim on a website set up to pay out money to the social network's users. 
The settlement stems from multiple lawsuits that were brought against Facebook by users who claimed that the company improperly shared their data with third-party sources such as advertisers and data brokers. The litigation began after Facebook was embroiled in a privacy scandal in 2018 with Cambridge Analytica, which scraped user data from the site as part of an effort to profile voters.
Meta denied any liability or wrongdoing under the settlement, according to the recently created class-action website. However, the agreement means that U.S. residents who used Facebook between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, can file a monetary claim as long as they do so before August 25, 2023. 
Please reblog to signal boost this! As many people as possible should know about this to make their claim, if you don't do anything you don't get anything. It takes less than ten minutes to file and pick your payment option including pay/pal and ven/mo .
