Settlement Summary

The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) has settled a $4 million class action lawsuit over allegations that it disclosed users' personally identifiable information, specifically Facebook IDs, to Meta (formerly Facebook) through the Meta Pixel. This disclosure, allegedly made without users' consent, is believed to have violated the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), a law put in place to prevent the wrongful disclosure of video rental and sale records. The lawsuit claims that this violation occurred when individuals logged into CBN's services and accessed video content between March 28, 2022, and May 28, 2024. This particular settlement comes with an option for class members to file a claim, requiring proof with a 'Class Member ID', to receive a pro-rata share of the $4 million settlement fund. The final amount per person will be determined based on the number of valid claims filed by the final deadline on April 29, 2025. This legal proceeding serves as a reminder to all digital platform operators about the importance of protecting user data in compliance with the law.
