This is the best summary I could come up with:

(NEXSTAR) – The number of claims filed in the $725 million Facebook privacy settlement may constitute the largest class in a lawsuit in U.S. history, lawyers said in a San Francisco court Thursday.

The administrator in charge of vetting claims has received more than 28 million applications for a payment, said Lesley Weaver, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs in the case.

Essentially, an administrator is appointed by the court to set up the settlement website, look at claimants’ information, verify they’re eligible, and send them what they’re due.

That makes predicting the exact amount you’ll receive difficult to do in advance, but class counsel estimated a median payment size of $30 when speaking in court on Thursday.

Judge Vince Chhabria gave the lawyers representing the plaintiffs another week to file some additional documents with the court.

Facebook parent company Meta agreed to pay the sum to settle claims it allowed people’s personal data to be shared with third parties.
