Facebook was sentenced to pay $ 550 million in damages!

Remember when Facebook started tagging people in photos in 2011? In that year, the company was testing its face recognition software, but was not satisfied with anyone’s single-name names. Shortly after Facebook took action, a lawsuit was filed against the company, and in 2015 the court formally investigated it.

Following the formal launch of the case, the case was classified as a group complaint, and Facebook was absolutely certain that it had done nothing wrong and was ready to defend itself. However, the situation seems to have changed and the company is now ready to settle the $ 550 million fine and satisfy the group of plaintiffs who filed the lawsuit from Illinois for the first time. According to a Facebook spokesman, the company wants to end this issue immediately, and company officials and shareholders are emphasizing this issue.

It is not bad to know that since 2011 and after the lawsuit was filed against Facebook, the company has been applying for permission from users to use face recognition software, and this means that the lawsuit has been quite successful and effective.
