Settlement for Australian users impacted by Cambridge Analytica incident

Kinda weird. We (Australia) have a new major data breach every month. Seems strange to single out Meta, what about Optus, St Vincent’s, Dymocks, the <i>AFP</i> (!), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (hardly surpising, with their 1990s website), Pizza Hut, the Royal Women’s Hospital, and about 100 (not hyperbole) others?

&gt; Individuals should be aware that scammers may use this media release to falsely claim to help them get payments. If you receive a call…<p>I can just imagine the heavy sigh that accompanied the decision to put this at the end of the media release.

50 million is chump change for Facebook. In a fair world, we would have competition against facebook and there would be choices for consumers. In this real world we are stuck with the bottom feeders like facebook which just works with impunity.<p>Not only did facebook lose all the data, it disabled customer support chat in Australia for all services including advertising.<p>Our company fb account (for travelers) was disabled due to &quot;Suspicious activity&quot; and then permanently deleted. But they conveniently left the ad account on which we can neither login nor disable. If we do a charge back, Facebook will instaban the instagram account as well and in process we could lose our 16 year account.<p>There is a huge group of such people here <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;facebookdisabledme&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;facebookdisabledme&#x2F;</a><p>Both reddit and facebook belong to trash of history (for different reasons)

It’s crazy to me that the CA debacle is still reverberating as unsettled this many years later. For a breach that’s been known for a decade to just now coming to a settlement is insane. Delay delay delay tactics should get push back from judges.

How are we supposed to know if someone in our network used the &#x27;This is Your Digital Life app&#x27;?<p>I feel like there is so much more behind this. Personally, I feel like I&#x27;ve been secretly blacklisted for 5 years straight. Even LLMs are telling me that it seems like I&#x27;ve been blacklisted and that it appears like there is &#x27;an element of coordination&#x27; when I describe some of the bizarre work experiences that I&#x27;ve had in the tech (esp. crypto) industry.<p>I can&#x27;t even talk about some of my experiences (at least not the full extent) because they are too weird and the motives make no sense.

How do you know if a friend installed This is Your Digital Life?
