Good job, again, Facebook.

Thank you August! I'll be among the first in line to sue
tha crap out of them if any of my info was leaked! They
banned my president from their platform and I'm ready to
get my revenge! :)
Not long ago, there was a national tv ad about a class action
again MS that extends all the way back to the 80's. If anyone owned/purchased the listed MS products, you could garnish up to
$250 (I think) for merely listing the products you "think" you
used - and receipts were not required. For anything above that
amount in the class action, receipts would be required.

I've seen a few of these. I was a part of one once...
The company (Convergys) sent mass-mail to all employees/
former employees in the amount of (I think) $200...
Then I think Equifax did the same thing - send me a check
that I didn't even ask for - I can't remember how much it
was for. I was on the list of people they leaked data from.
Why isn't that data stored encrypted? Then, if access to the
stored data were to be compromised, it would be useless if
leaked.
It's nice when a class-action system is automatic, and the payout arrives without requiring too much involvement. I'm not going to
bother with the MS one. A $250 payout seems pathetic. But maybe a little bit of work to receive $250 might be rewarding - especially
if invested in crypto for the long haul.

I filled out the form for the Microsoft one. Took maybe 20
minutes or so as you had to enter each software title
individually. I've given Microsoft so much money over the
years, it'll be nice to get SOMETHING back.
I have copies of Office 2019 that I've paid for, but it
seems each version that goes by it's harder & harder to
find the non-subscription one. I don't want to pay yearly
for Office.
How did you get a confirmation that your submission was accepted or received?
Were you able to maximize to $250?
Once your claim has been processed, you will be notified by
email as well. Please be aware this process will take some
time: cash payments to eligible claimants will be issued
only after the Claims Review Deadline and no sooner than
early 2022."
If I recall correctly I ended up at $249. I could have
entered more, but I really didn't want to go though the
hassle of digging up old receipts for computers I've long
thrown out. (That I probably don't have the receipt for
anyway).
"Once your claim has been processed, you will be notified by email
as well."
Did you get that 2nd email? If not, how long has it been since you filed?
That would be my plan too. How could they expect people to even
have receipts from so long ago? I look forward to burning up or
shredding old paperwork that I don't need from more than 7 years
old.

Maybe a class action is possible or in the works.

But considering that FB is just "data", I bet they can worm
their way around the whole debacle by citing teeny tiny non-
liability clauses that no one bothers to read upon signing up
with FB.
I also call for class action lawsuits against everyone who
promoted the idea of the whole c'vid lockdowns, and
ridicolous polices, masks, etc, and a LOT of business
owners/club olwners retail owners basicly got screwed.
We don't want free handouts or government checks. we want
to be left alone and run businesses the way we dang well
please.
