A photo of a brown envelope with an unusually large clear plastic window taking up most of the left hand side. There is no stamp but rather the envelope has been printed indicating that postage has been paid.
A photograph of the return address from a letter. it reads, "In re Facebook Biometric Information Privacy Litigation. P.O. Box 43009. Providence, RI 02940-3009. FBY-C."

Posting because I initially joined this lawsuit because I saw it here on tumblr, and also this is the first news I’ve heard about this thing in a long time.

If any of you joined that Illinois class action lawsuit against Facebook for illegal use of biometric (in this case facial recognition) data, watch your mail and do not throw out any envelopes that look like this or are sent from this address. My husband just today got a check for nearly $400 as part of the settlement.

More info about the lawsuit and settlement here. But the jist is: you had to sign up by November 23, 2020 to enter a claim. Checks started mailing out on May 9, 2021. The checks are for between $200 and $400.
