TikTok claim settlement may be worth a cup of coffee

A proposal to settle privacy lawsuits with the video app TikTok might give users enough compensation to buy a cup of coffee—and that’s just not good enough, a lawyer representing an objector to the accord told a judge.

Those supporting the $92 million settlement justify it by referring to deals reached more than a decade ago, the lawyer, Ryan Andrews, said at a hearing on Monday. Andrews is a partner at Edelson PC, which represented plaintiffs in a class-action biometric privacy suit that cost Facebook $650 million and saw 22% of class members, or 1.6 million Facebook users, file compensation claims.
