The lawsuit, which was filed in 2012, claimed that Facebook's practice of tracking users' browsing history and other online activities, even when they were not logged into the site, was a violation of the Wiretap Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The plaintiffs argued that Facebook's data collection practices were not clearly disclosed to users and that the company's terms of service were misleading.


Objections to the Settlement


Other objectors have raised concerns about the settlement's release provisions, which would bar class members from pursuing future claims against Facebook related to the company's data collection practices. The objectors argue that this provision is overly broad and could prevent users from seeking compensation for future privacy violations.


Facebook's Defense

Facebook has also argued that the objectors' concerns about the settlement's release provisions are unfounded, as the provisions are standard in class action settlements and are intended to prevent duplicate litigation. The company's lawyers have also pointed out that class members who opt out of the settlement are free to pursue their own claims against Facebook, if they choose to do so.
