      Did you get your personal data stolen through the equifax breach? I got about $8. The total settlement was $30 million iirc. Equifax reported $209 million in earnings last quarter.

      These settlements aren’t meant to punish the culprit. They’re paltry excuses for justice by a system that will enrich the attorneys involved in the case, allow the company to make back their losses in literal days with no real punishment, and leave those actually by impacted their negligence with pennies.

        I’d be happy with $8.

        I was offered a year of credit monitoring. When I told them fuck off with that offer they decided I wasn’t part off the affected class.

      Perhaps you’d like to detail your actual damages?

        Well, I’ll be getting $0 since I just heard about this. Guess they couldn’t be bothered reaching out to Facebook users.

          They were literally running ads on facebook. For about a month it was all I saw.

          I saw it in several news outlets. That’s how I found out that I needed to register.
