    the claims against Meta expire at the end of this year, so users would have to act quickly — by filing a lawsuit and proving they were victims of the incident

    This is somewhat misleading.

    They have to file their claim before the end of the year. But then they can add the proof later.

    fb could start charging $50 per comment/post/login/anything, and people still won’t delete their account

    Do affected people also get a check of a whopping $3.96 in Germany? Or is that just a US thing?

      Its 100€ if you can not prove that any harm was done. It could be more with proof (ie spam call logs etc)
