Despite that, the case appears to be having other impacts.<br \/>Facebook users located in Illinois after June of 2011 were eligible to file a claim in a class-action lawsuit against the social media giant for violating the state\u2019s BIPA law.<br \/>Illinoisans had a deadline of Nov. 23, 2020, to join the class action settlement. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebookbipaclassaction.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website for the case<\/a> notes final approval was granted in April. However, two class members appealed, preventing payments from being made.<br \/>\u201cThis appeal prevents payments from being made to any class members,\u201d according to the website. \u201cClass Counsel remains committed to using every possible legal means to expedite this timeframe.\u201d<br \/>Abe Scarr with Illinois Public Interest Research Group said such appeals can take time.<br \/>\u201cThat can take up to one or two years on average,\u201d Scarr said. \u201cI know there have been efforts to expedite the appeal but so far no success there. Unfortunately, we\u2019re going to have to wait another year if not two to hopefully finally have some settlement here.\u201d<br \/>Payments are expected to be up to $400 per person, but a fact sheet says an exact amount can\u2019t be given. That depends on how many claims are filed and the cost of fees and other attorney expenses.<br \/>While the delay may be frustrating, Meta <a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2021\/11\/update-on-use-of-face-recognition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced<\/a> earlier this month Facebook will no longer use facial recognition \u201cas part of a company-wide move to limit the use of facial recognition in our products.\u201d<br \/>\u201cThis change will represent one of the largest shifts in facial recognition usage in the technology\u2019s history,\u201d a statement from Meta said Nov. 2. \u201cMore than a third of Facebook\u2019s daily active users have opted in to our Face Recognition setting and are able to be recognized, and its removal will result in the deletion of more than a billion people\u2019s individual facial recognition templates.\u201d<br \/>Scarr said that\u2019s a positive development, though he remains guarded.<br \/>\u201cKnowing Facebook and Meta, I wouldn&#8217;t count on them completely stopping using facial recognition technology,\u201d Scarr said. \u201cBut there seems to be some progress on that and across the country, growing recognition of some of the privacy harms that have to do with facial recognition technology.\u201d<br \/>\u201cLooking ahead, we still see facial recognition technology as a powerful tool,\u201d Meta said. \u201cFacial recognition can be particularly valuable when the technology operates privately on a person\u2019s own devices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cities929.com\/2021\/11\/25\/as-facebook-deletes-more-than-a-billion-users-face-templates-illinoisans-still-waiting-on-payout\/\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(The Center Square) \u2013 That check from Facebook for violating Illinois\u2019 Biometric Information Privacy Act by cataloging faces without permission isn\u2019t in the mail yet.
