Total amount of damage
Period covered for compensation
FACEBOOK HAS BEEN VIOLATING THE PRIVACY RIGHTS OF BILLIONS OF PEOPLE. WE WANT THIS TO STOP.
Facebook's revenue model is based on collecting as much personal data as possible and selling it to the highest bidder for advertising purposes. Everything must give way to the commercial motives of the American tech giant, including the online security and privacy of Facebook users.
What we demand
We demand Facebook to stop its unlawful data processing practices and compensate for the data leak. SOMI will file a claim on behalf of all Facebook users in the Netherlands.
Why join this claim?
Data breach
Facebook introduced a feature that could easily be abused by malicious actors. Data breach was the consequence; data of 533 million users ended up on the Dark Web. Facebook was fined €265 million for this, but the damage suffered by Facebook users was not compensated.
Personal data
Facebook has been using personal data for advertising purposes for years, without having a valid basis for doing so. That is against the law.
Law violations
Facebook has transferred personal data to the United States for years, without sufficient safeguards to prevent that data from being misused. That is against the law.
Get compensation for your damage, we claim up to € 1,500 per person.

Tips on what to do if your
personal data
appears in Facebook data breach
The data breach mainly concerned names, telephone numbers, location data and dates of birth. These are data that cannot easily be changed. Therefore, we recommend that you follow these steps to protect your data and secure your Facebook account.
Use strong passwords that include at least 15 characters, upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Update your data – remove unnecessary personal information.
Enable 2-factor authentication on your account. Try third-party authentication apps to generate login codes.
Beware of ‘Smishing’ (SMS-phishing) and other phishing attempt. Do not click on any links or reply to SMS messages from any unknown sender.
Change your Security and Login Settings, enable alerts for any type of unrecognized logins.
Retrieve your personal information from Facebook. SOMI can collect your personal data on your behalf and investigate whether such data has been collected in accordance with the GDPR.
