Australians Can Claim Share of Meta's AUD 50 Million Privacy Payout

Meta, the company behind Facebook, is giving money to over 311,000 Australians because their Facebook info was shared without permission.

This happened because of something called the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where a company got private info from Facebook users.

Australians who used Facebook between 2013 and 2015, and were in Australia for more than 30 days during that period, can apply.

You might get money if you were friends with someone who used an app that collected this info.

There are two ways to claim: one with proof of loss (like medical bills), and one just saying you were worried.

The amount you get depends on how many people apply, but it might not be much, like similar payouts in the US.

You must apply before the end of 2025.
