Illinois Facebook users: Your $397 privacy settlement check should be in the mail beginning May 9

To qualify, Facebook users had to live in the state for at least six months over the previous nine years. More than one in five eligible Illinois Facebook users filed a claim by the November 2020 deadline.”
