Court approves USD 20 mln Facebook advertising settlement

2013-08-27 09:59:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Facebook has secured a San Francisco court's final approval for its USD 20 million settlement of a lawsuit over targeted advertising, despite critics seeing the deal as falling short in protecting childrens' privacy, Reuters reports. The BBC writes that as a result of the settlement, some 614,000 Facebook users whose personal details appeared in ads on the site without their permission will receive a payout of USD 15 each. Child rights groups argued that minors' content should be shared with advertisers. Under the deal Facebook will pay USD 20 million to the plaintiffs and pledged to give users more control over the way in which their content is shared.
