"Many Californians are receiving cash settlements from a lawsuit against Thomson Reuters over its data collection practices that allegedly put personal identities up for sale."
"Despite the settlement offer of $27.5 million, only a small percentage of eligible individuals submitted claims, leading to a court decision to extend the claim deadline."
A long-running privacy lawsuit has resulted in cash payments to Californians from the Thomson Reuters CLEAR case, with payments of $156.09 recently distributed via Venmo. This follows a class-action lawsuit led by activists Rasheed Shabazz and Cat Brooks, who argued that the company sold personal data without consent. Despite a $27.5 million settlement, less than 3% of eligible claimants have participated, prompting the court to extend the claim deadline to encourage more participation.
