The lawsuit began in 2015, when Illinois users accused Facebook of violating the state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act in collecting biometric data.
Facebook allegedly accomplished this through its “Tag Suggestions” feature, which allowed users to recognise their Facebook friends from previously uploaded photos.
In a statement, law firms Edelson, Robbins Geller and Labaton Sucharow said the plaintiffs will ask the district court to give preliminary approval for the settlement.
