| Meta Platforms, Inc., f/k/a Facebook, Inc.source ↗ filed by Weitz & Luxengerg, PC · No. 4:26-cv-09440 · 28:1332 Diversity-Product Liability · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $51.75M–$725M ▾Meta Pixel/privacy claims split in comparables: Santoro v. Tower Health dismissed Meta Pixel health-data claim, while Bayhealth survived a breach-of-confidentiality theory and Integris left state privacy claims unclear; Meta's own $725M nationwide privacy settlement shows litigation risk is real but often resolved short of trial. Comparable settlements $51.75M–$725M median $63.75M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google LLC $135M · Google LLC and Alp $68M Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$29 (n=2) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425.65M Class (from complaint): District of Columbia consumers who used Meta's social media platforms, including Facebook, and were misled about the safety of those platforms and Meta's fraud Key precedent: Santoro v. Tower Health (3rd Cir.) — dismissed similar Meta Pixel privacy theory with prejudice, showing courts often reject fraud/misrepresentation framing absent concrete injury. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead concrete injury or actionable misrepresentation, as in Santoro v. Tower Health This defendant: Meta has prior privacy/wiretap filings (Smith Nelson) and a $725M nationwide settlement, indicating recurring exposure on this theory. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2.40M–$8.75M Small comparable sample, DC-only class not directly benchmarked; nationwide settlement figures may overstate per-member value for a narrower state-law class. · grounded in 8 rulings, 10 settlements, 4 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | N.D.
