Additional Information
The Philadelphia Inquirer has agreed to a $1.125 million settlement to resolve claims that it shared subscriber activity with Facebook. This settlement benefits individuals who had a digital subscription with The Philadelphia Inquirer between October 1, 2019, and January 16, 2024, and who used Facebook during that period.
In the privacy class action lawsuit, plaintiffs alleged that The Philadelphia Inquirer intercepted and shared subscriber communications, including Facebook IDs and viewed video information, with Facebook. These actions were claimed to have violated the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) and the Pennsylvania Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act. The Philadelphia Inquirer, a local newspaper publisher based in Pennsylvania, denies any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to resolve the claims.
Under the settlement, class members will receive an equal share of the net settlement fund. The exact payment amount will depend on the total number of valid claims and other factors, and no payment estimates are currently available.
To receive settlement benefits, eligible class members must submit a valid claim form by October 27, 2024.
