Nearly 1.6 million Facebook users in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/illinois\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Illinois<\/a> who submitted claims will be affected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-puzfbd\">Donato called it one of the largest settlements ever for a privacy violation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-puzfbd\">\u201cIt will put at least $345 into the hands of every class member interested in being compensated,\u201d he wrote, calling it \u201ca major win for consumers in the hotly contested area of digital privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-puzfbd\">Jay Edelson, a Chicago attorney who filed the lawsuit, told the Chicago Tribune that the checks could be in the mail within two months unless the ruling is appealed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-puzfbd\">\u201cWe are pleased to have reached a settlement so we can move past this matter, which is in the best interest of our community and our shareholders,\u201d Facebook, which is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-puzfbd\">The lawsuit accused the social media giant of violating an Illinois privacy law by failing to get consent before using facial-recognition technology to scan photos uploaded by users to create and store faces digitally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-puzfbd\">The state\u2019s Biometric Information Privacy Act allowed consumers to sue companies that didn\u2019t get permission before harvesting data such as faces and fingerprints. <br \/>The case eventually wound up as a class-action lawsuit in California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-puzfbd\">Facebook has since changed its photo-tagging system.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
