Instagram class action pay out
Instagram chose to write the check for $68million after Illinois residents claimed that the social media app violated Illinois’ Information Privacy Act.
The settlement states that those eligible are Illinois residents who have used Instagram any time between August 10, 2015, and August 16, 2023.
According to the complaint, the tech company allegedly collected and stored biometric information, which includes human characteristics like fingerprints.
The company denies all wrongdoing.
