Google BIPA settlement

The settlement over Google's violation of Illinois' biometric privacy laws is being converted into individual payments, and those payments just started going out to those who took part in a $100 million class action lawsuit.

Like several other companies, Google has been accused of violating Illinois' Biometric Privacy Act (or, BIPA), which has resulted in the settlement of a multi-million dollar class action lawsuit. If you took part in the lawsuit, you should expect some money to come your way.

Hey, in case you hadn't heard, there's $100 million in settlement money for Illinois residents (paid by Google) that's just waiting to be claimed--but you have to file a claim to be eligible.
