Meta has agreed to a $50 million settlement with Australia's privacy regulator over the Cambridge Analytica scandal, affecting around 311,000 Facebook users. The settlement, the largest in Australia for privacy concerns, involves a payment scheme for users who had accounts between November 2013 and December 2015, used the "This Is Your Digital Life" app, or were friends with someone who did. Payments will be available in the second quarter of 2025, with higher amounts for those who suffered specific losses or damages.
